Campaign To Fund Research Into Muscular Dystrophy

EDM number 140 in 2007-08, proposed by David Anderson on 07/11/2007.
Categorised under the topics of Diseases, Medicine and Voluntary organisations.

That this House recognises the devastating impact of muscular dystrophy; acknowledges that this is a disease that recognises no boundaries and results in loss of muscle strength, progressive muscle wasting and nerve deterioration; accepts that, while the Department of Health has worked closely with campaigners to develop research, much more needs to be done; welcomes the initiative of Mrs Kate Clarkson and a group of women from Northumberland in producing a fund-raising CD with the title Christmas Crackers; wishes them success in their venture and hopes that it raises much needed funds to support further research into the disease; and urges hon. Members and the general public to purchase the CD in order to maximise the amount of money raised.

This motion has been signed by a total of 70 MPs.
