LDN Petition to No. 10 Downing Street

[Guest guest]

Just a quick update – thanks to everyone’s

support/efforts, with your help, we have now got over 3,000 signatures on our

petition to No 10 Downing Street.  At the moment we have 3,002 signatures. 

Considering there’s an estimate of 3,000 people in the UK that take LDN I

think we’ve done pretty well – and this is mostly without any media

exposure. 

Out of all petitions in the health category (598), we are

still in the top 10 and out of all petitions on the No 10 Downing Street

website which is 4,431, we are in the top 40.  Hopefully now that we at LDNNow

are starting to gain ground with the media the number of people to sign this

petition will start to increase, but as you are well aware, there’s no

guarantees.  I would also like to thank those who supported the last article in

my local press – comments go a long way as to how journalists work in the

UK and who knows?  Maybe this will gain national exposure – we can only

keep trying. 

However, we still need your help to gain more signatures so

please do ask your friends/family etc to sign the petition if they are a

British citizen – they don’t have to live in the UK, they can sign

as expats.

We are having an LDNNow Day on Sept 12th which

will involve a number of people across the UK to park their bums somewhere

(preferably their local supermarket/shopping centre) to raise awareness about

LDN and hopefully get them to support our campaign with adding their signatures

to the petition to the Govt to fund trials for LDN.  The savings for the Govt

will be tremendous ie 1 in 100 people get diagnosed with RA and this is

currently costing the Govt £2bn/year.  We know there’s at least 100,000

people diagnosed with MS in the UK and approximately 1.3m people with cancer.  These

are just 3 examples, not to mention other auto immune diseases like UC/Crohns,

Autism, HIV/Aids, etc. 

We are now in the process of getting posters done for people

to display at their leisure/sports centres, pubs, libraries, marinas etc so if

any of you in the UK would like a couple, please email me off line and we can

send them to you.  They will be available mid August. 

The LDNNow day allows us about 10 weeks before our petition

expires and hopefully the International LDN Awareness Week will keep the

sustainability of LDN awareness going in the public eye.

Again, many thanks to those who supported and took the time

to comment on my local article in the paper and hopefully another press article

will shortly follow.

Best, 

Jayne
