Marion was invited to contact the Leeds Lung Health Check. Thanks to an early diagnosis of a small lung cancer, she received life-saving treatment.
Marion hopes that this program will be made available to more people so that they can also benefit.

Smoking is the single biggest preventable cause of death in our country.
Prime Minister @RishiSunak’s plans, announced today, will mean kids who turn 14 this year or younger can never legally be sold cigarettes in their lifetime.

I visited the pioneering Leeds Lung Health Check mobile facility. It’s carried out thousands of lung scans in our community, saving lives. The team has also helped so many people stop smoking.
I’ve written to the Health Secretary in support of the call for funding this UK-wide.
