Faces of Cancer |
|||||||||||||||||||||
For more than 20 years, cancer patients have worked successfully with European Parliamentarians to learn about, debate and form policies geared towards cancer patients in a cross-sectoral and cross-party manner, making use of outside expertise and participation of stakeholders. The Forum Against Cancer Europe (FACE) will be the continuance of this work. The work of FACE will consists of monitoring the work of the European Union; monitoring the situation of various legislation that passes through the EU that will effect cancer patients in the EU Member States and liaising with civil society groups to relay their concerns at the European level.
As the former Co-Chair of MEPs Against Cancer, this is a brief note to thank you for the friendship and steadfast support you provided to this forum to raise the concerns of cancer patients up the political ladder. In the past legislature in collaboration with cancer patients and the European Cancer Patient Coalition, we have raised our voice about the need to take direct action against cancer. We all know what a terrible disease cancer is and its impact on those who suffer from the disease, and to the people around them. The sheer size of this issue is devastating. Over three million people are diagnosed with cancer each and every year. Europe has been aware of the problems for more than a decade. But it needs political will. It is vital that strong MEPs continue their efforts to raise cancer and stimulate dialogues and actions between all parties. I believe that by working together at European level, we can make a real and positive difference in this respect. Therefore, please support the "Forum Against Cancer in Europe" and proactively support the actions that will tackle cancer.
Almost Every Family". The meeting was hosted by MEP Marisa Matias and featured high level speakers from the European Parliament, EU Commission, research community and patient groups. 
With hardly any family spared from cancer, it is vital that the battle against cancer is a political priority for the European Parliament and European citizens. It needs political will that action against cancer is promoted and it is vital that strong MEPs continue their efforts to raise cancer and stimulate dialogues and actions between all parties. Over 60 MEPs are supporting FACE already. Please join FACE in the fight against cancer.
