Muscular Dystrophy Campaign

EDM number 2247 in 2005-06, proposed by David Anderson on 24/05/2006.

That this House congratulates Danny Smith, a teacher at Ryton Comprehensive School on Tyneside, for his ongoing work to raise both awareness and funds in the campaign to defeat the disease Duchennes muscular dystrophy (DMD); notes that Danny's son Sam suffers from the disease and he, like hundreds of other young males, faces a worrying future; applauds the decision of organisers of the Blaydon Races to nominate DMD as its charitable beneficiary around this year's race and festival; further notes that to date Mr Smith has raised over £85,000 and that he hopes to boost that amount by running in the Blaydon Race; and urges the Department of Health to support and finance research into the disease in order to offer hope to the hundreds of young boys who face life in a wheelchair and death in their teens.

This motion has been signed by a total of 41 MPs.
