Jacky Pickles, Janice Wrigglesworth and Marie Morton are three women from Yorkshire who suffer from multiple myeloma - a type of blood cancer. Their fight for access to the life prolonging drug Velcade has been widely reported in the media and we became known as “The Velcade Three”.
The Velcade Three are campaigning to make the drug Velcade available to multiple myeloma sufferers all over the country. We would like to hear from any myeloma sufferers out there who may be entitled to legal aid and will need Velcade or those who have been refused this drug
Please take the time to read about their petition to the Prime Minister & use the link provided to add your own voice to the campaign, these three ladies through their fight can help bring about the right of all for access to treatment
Our petition to the prime minister
The Velcade Three have been successful in arranging a petition which is available on the 10 Downing Street website. We would very much appreciate you taking a few moments of your time to read and sign this petition and encourage friends and family to follow your example. In doing so you can help both patients and carers achieve our aim of gaining recognition and treatment of this devastating disease.
