MS Sufferer To Parachute Jump To Raise Money For Cannabis Causes
Patman Denning Press Release
Tuesday 28 Aug 2001 PATMAN ASKS FOR HELP MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS SUFFERER TO PARACHUTE JUMP TO RAISE MONEY FOR CANNABIS CAUSES. Patman Denning, a wheel-chair bound multiple sclerosis sufferer is planning to do a parachute jump to raise funds to help legalise cannabis. Patman, who stood as a Legalise Cannabis Alliance candidate in Milton Keynes at the last general election and polled 500 votes, is determined not to let his physical disabilities get in the way of his campaigning. Patman readily confesses that he gets great medical benefit from using cannabis. He wrote in his election flier: "I recognise that a huge number of people suffering from a range of illnesses and ailments - including stress that effects almost everyone - could benefit from a legal supply of this plant, or from being allowed to grow it." Patman is seeking sponsorship for his parachute jump. He needs to raise about £300 to travel to Oxfordshire from his home in Old Farm Park, Milton Keynes, before he can do the jump, so is asking people to send donations to him now (see address at end). Patman is also seeking sponsorship of funds to be paid after his brave jump, giving the options of pledging funds to one or more of the pro-cannabis groups he has chosen. These are the Legalise Cannabis Alliance, The Medical Marijuana Co-Operative and the Free Medical Marijuana Foundation.
