PENDLE MP Andrew Stephenson has called for people to back the Children with Cancer charity.

Mr Stephenson recently attended a parliamentary reception supporting the organisation and learnt about the work that goes into finding a cure for the disease.

Mr Stephenson said: “They fund life-saving research into the causes, prevention and treatment of childhood cancer.

“Over the past 29 years Children with Cancer UK has raised more than £200million and has been able to invest in research that has helped drive up survival rates.

“We need to continue to fund pioneering research into kinder treatments."
