Archie Goodburn, a 25-year-old Scottish swimmer, is appealing to the government to increase investment in rare cancer research. Goodburn, who holds the Scottish 50m breaststroke record and competed at the recent Commonwealth Games, was diagnosed with brain cancer three years ago and has leveraged his platform to advocate for greater resources in the field.

Following the passage of the Rare Cancers Bill, Goodburn has directly urged the Prime Minister to expand cancer funding, emphasising that patients require meaningful support in their fight against the disease. His campaign brings visibility to the funding gaps in rare cancer research and treatment.
