Jess Brady tragically died aged 27 from cancer that could have been caught earlier.
A new rule inspired by her story will help GPs catch illnesses earlier and avoid preventable deaths.

After Karen's mum died from stomach cancer, she discovered she carried the CDH1 gene mutation, putting her at risk too. In 2004, she chose a total gastrectomy to prevent cancer. This #StomachCancerAwarenessMonth, she welcomes our AI research funding for early cancer detection! 🧡

‘Doctors said her brain tumour was so complex, it was the only one of its kind in Europe.’
Children like Orla are why @CR_UK is investing £3.2m at its Children’s Brain Tumour Centre of Excellence.

Jess is my daughter. I am not sure I can adequately convey the sheer devastation of discovering my daughter was going to die. It took mere moments to become THAT family. The family no one wants to be. Jess was left with no future and she deserved that, at the very least. #JessLaw

Raising the age of sale for tobacco was a key call throughout our #TurningPointForCancer campaign in the run up to the general election and these new figures show why action on smoking is so important.
With a new UK government in place, it is vital that the Tobacco and Vapes Bill is reintroduced in the King’s Speech so we can take a step closer to a #SmokefreeUK and fewer cancers caused by smoking. cruk.ink/3Wd4zKM
