making muscle wasting history

S3M-6509 Elaine Smith: Increased Awareness of Duchenne Stems from Sunflower Day—That the Parliament congratulates St Patrick’s Primary School in Coatbridge on its promotion of the awareness of Duchenne muscular dystrophy; notes that, on Friday 18 June 2010, pupils in the infant department will wear yellow and participate in a sunflower competition in order to raise money for the charity, Action Duchenne; recognises that Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a debilitating condition that causes muscle weakness, mainly in young boys, and calls on the Scottish Government to ensure that people with the condition are afforded the highest standard of care throughout Scotland, regardless of their postcode.

The above article demonstrates how the Seeds of Hope campaign has helped continue to raise awareness of the condition and the charity. St Patrick’s Primary School in Coatbridge, Scotland, have a young boy that attends and has Duchenne. The school has shown support to Action Duchenne in the past with Clare Crilly helping to ensure the school was fully aware of her son's condition.

Our voices can be heard even from a simple seed.
