Graeme Souness cross-Channel swim for epidermolysis bullosa

Early day motion 1295, tabled 12 June 2023 by Gregory Campbell (DUP). Signed by 11 members.

That this House notes that former footballer and manager Graeme Souness, aged 70, is taking part with five other volunteers in swimming the English Channel in an effort to raise over £1miilion to create greater awareness of the condition known as recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (EB) which, in many cases, leaves the sufferer with extremely fragile skin and excruciating pain; and commends all those involved in trying to highlight this little known condition in an effort to help find a cure.

Signatures by party: DUP 5, Alba 1, Conservative 1, Independent 1, Labour 1, Liberal Democrat 1, Scottish National Party 1.
