The pandemic has led to delays to cancer diagnosis and treatment, and with more than 55,000 cancer patients in England currently waiting for key tests, the emotional and practical support provided by rare cancer charities such as WMUK, is needed more more than ever. As the need for our services increases, the donations that we depend upon have decreased.
