I'm not sure if I've posted this in the correct place, but I've made a petition to try and get the NHS to recognise CCUK's Can't Wait Card. While this is only applicable to people living in the UK, I'd appreciate it if you could take a few moments to sign the petition regardless since it'd benefit huge numbers of people living with such debilitating illnesses.
