THE plight of a mum whose five-year-old son died from side effects of brain cancer treatment has been championed in Westminster. Sally Hall was joined by Abingdon MP Nicola Blackwood in Parliament on Monday evening

By Alex Ballinger to bid for a boost in funding for brain cancer research. Mrs Hall and husband Andrew launched brain cancer research charity Blue Skye Thinking in 2014 in legacy of their son Skye,

who died that year. The debate was held after an e-petition calling on the Government to allocate more money to the disease gained over 120,000 signatures. Mrs Hall said: “It is all too easy to lash out and apportion blame when faced with such terrible circumstances but I, like many others present know it will never bring our innocent children back. “All we can hope for is to impress upon Government, the need for the allocation of funds for the number one cancer killer in children and young adults, be addressed as a matter of urgency.” Blue Skye Thinking was earlier this month voted as the Oxfordshire Guardian Charity of the Year for 2016.
