Lorely Burt supports 'Race Against Time'

June 1, 2005 12:00 AM

Lib Dem MP, Lorely Burt joined Solihull resident, Roger Watson in a lobby of Parliament for funding to continue research into Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy last week.

The 'Race Against Time' lobby presented an open letter to No 10 Downing Street calling for 'action today' to give 'hope for tomorrow' for muscular dystrophy sufferers.

Mr Watson joined hundreds of others in calling for an immediate £5m to continue a joint research project between the UK, Holland and Sweden to develop treatment for the muscle wasting disease.

"Joint research is at a critical stage, and it is vital for the UK to continue to play its part with funding to develop treatment to slow down the effects of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy now. Hundreds of children across the country will benefit in the future so long as the research goes ahead, and it can only continue with government support," said Lorely Burt.

    If you are a resident of the Solihull constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
