“It was my privilege to present a petition for this campaign to the Minister for Health on behalf of the late Una Crudden and I will continue to do whatever I can to support the many people and organisations fighting to achieve early diagnosis, clinical trials and support for the brave women affected by this disease.

“Such a campaign could allow much higher survival rates than we currently see and would be a fitting tribute to the work of Una and others.”
