Good Morning Marg, I would love to go , I think it's on Dec 10th but alas I can not afford the train fare, its almost £ 100 from where I live but I have asked my local MP. I do not know if he's attending as I had no reply.

I hope the meeting goes well, huff :) x

This A1AD deficiency is also relevant for Hereditary Spherocytosis patients and there are several members of my family with this disease. 2 have already died from Pneumococal Septicaemia. I also have Primary Biliary Cirrhosis an auto-immune liver disease (PBC). As I am disabled and am also caring for my very sick husband with COPD and Diabetes 2 I will not be able to come to this event in London. PLEASE could you mail me any leaflets writeups information etc? I can email you my address or phone you if I know your contact details. Thanks.

Tuesday 10th December, 3-5 pm, Attlee Suite in Portcullis House, located next to the Westminster Tube Station, London

Launch of the new Alpha-1 policy report, developed to demonstrate the unmet medical needs of Alpha-1 patients across England.

The launch event in Parliament will include a panel discussion, chaired by Mark Pawsey MP. The panel members will include the Chair of the Alpha-1 Alliance, Dr Ravi Mahadeva, and people with Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency.

Alpha-1 patients and their families are welcome to attend the report launch, but we ask that they RSVP in advance to info@alpha-1-alliance.co.uk.

We look forward to hearing from you!
