Graeme Souness cross-Channel swim for epidermolysis bullosa

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.
