Access to medicine

My attempt for today was to try to volunteer for the local event promoting the following campaign which seems pretty awesome. Unfortunately the volunteering didn't work out so I had to settle for posting this on my blog and facebook and contacting my MP. I think I'll phone her since I emailed yesterday... I need to diversify my actions I think. Thanks to Anna for the lead on this one :)
