I was honoured today to receive a @FEDER_ONG award, presented by HM the Queen of Spain.
It is recognition of not just @eurordis but everyone who engaged in Rare 2030.
Spain has long supported rare diseases and I hope this will continue during their Presidency of @EUCouncil.

Brain cancer is a cruel disease that takes people from us with too little chance of a proper diagnosis, treatment or cure.
Great to join @braintumourrsch @NIHRresearch @The_MRC @royalsocbio @TessaJ_Academy @BrainTumourOrg @APPGC to highlight my HMG commitment to do more. ๐ค
