We are urging people to sign petitions that will presented to Parliament on 7 May 2019, calling for medicines to be funded that will help New Zealanders live longer, healthier lives and reduce extreme suffering. The petitions will be given to MPs after a march from Wellington Library, via PHARMAC for a candle lighting ceremony in commemoration of those who have passed, then to the steps of Parliament. The petitions are for modern medicines for Breast Cancer, Lung Cancer (two petitions), Ovarian Cancer, Myeloma (Bone Marrow Cancer), Multiple Myeloma, Pompe Disease and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia.
Here are the links to the petitions. Please sign now!
