Parents of a young woman who died say brain cancer research funding is 'woefully inadequate'.
Amani Liaquat's parents, Yasmin Stannard and Khuram Liaquat, said they were honouring their daughter's dying wishes by raising awareness of brain cancerThe parents of a young woman who died after she developed a brain tumour said they wanted the government to fulfil a pledge to spend £40m on research.
The couple are due to attend an All-Party Parliamentary Group that will discuss brain tumours and how the government allocates funding for research. Following her diagnosis, she raised tens of thousands of pounds for charity and spoke about the need for brain tumour research and more funding. Buckinghamshire-based charity Brain Tumour Research said only 1% of the national spend on cancer research had been allocated to the disease since records began in 2002."Somebody diagnosed today has got no better chance than somebody five to 10 years ago," he said.But the latest government figure showed only £10.7m had been spent so far.
