Closed Cap travel insurance costs for cancer patients to make travelling affordable

Closed on

Vulnerable cancer patients are asked to pay an extortionate amounts of money to travel abroad. Often cancer patients are in receipt of a reduced income and can not afford the cost of travel insurance. Cancer patients are penalised for being ill.

Often cancer patients have to pay in excess of £1000 to travel for one week within Europe. This is most often more than the cost of their holidays; adding undue stress to a situation which is already stressful.
