Dr Pete Taylor’s Fund Thyroid Research Petition 📣🔔🔊💬

[helvella]

Would you like every single member to get a Christmas present?

Please sign this petition so that we at least reach 10,000 before Christmas Day. It is very achievable. We are most of the way - just the last few!

Oh - and carry on even after we hit 10,000.

[JGBH]

Already signed.

Will beg and plead for this to be signed and shared once again.

I had hopes for 100k initially but yes we really need to get the extra 300 signatures for 10k else I fear the medical community will quote the lack of support as evidence it’s not an issue.

[SlowDragon Administrator in reply to mrskiki]

Agreed …..with 134,000 members…..vast majority in U.K. …getting to 10,000 should have been “a walk in the park “

Extremely disappointing so few have signed

SlowDragon 'with 134,000 members'

We don't have 134,000 active members. That is the number of member sign-ups since the forum started in 2010. Many will effectively be 'abandoned accounts' as people get better and no longer need support. According to the monthly stats, we typically only have around 8,000 -8,500 active members per month.

Have just had a reply from my MP re this petition and its request. Last sentence being:

I will raise putting a significant proportion of the fine levied upon Advanz towards research with ministerial colleagues.

It might have no impact, but at least I know he is aware.

[RedApple Administrator in reply to helvella]

That's encouraging. But shame he missed off the bit about it being 'thyroid' research.

[helvella Administrator in reply to RedApple]

Have to admit, I cut his reply a bit short! The sentence before was rather more directed and specific:

I know that liothyronine is perceived to be an important medicine for a small proportion of patients in order to maintain health and wellbeing and am sympathetic to more funding for research into thyroid conditions and support for sufferers.

[RedApple Administrator in reply to helvella]

Oh, that's so much more promising!

[helvella Administrator in reply to RedApple]

Extra replies keep this post in newsfeed for a few more minutes!

[RedApple Administrator in reply to helvella]

Just 200 more sigs needed to get over 10,000

[Kowbie in reply to helvella]

Me too , hope you have a good Christmas x

[helvella Administrator]

Another 150 will get us to 10,000!

Sign AND pass on to anyone who can sign. And keep passing it on.

[RedApple Administrator]

Only 84 more sigs needed to get past 10,000!

[Kowbie]

I’d like to sign it again

[helvella Administrator in reply to Kowbie]

If we were allowed to sign many times, I alone would have ensured it reached 10,000 within the first week!

[Staffsgirl]

Me too! Currently 9,922.

[mrskiki]

Found a few more signatures this week but it’s getting harder, will keep looking for opportunities.
