A DETERMINED Stafford teenager who is lobbying the Government for more research into diabetes has urged her MP to add his support.
Darcy Evans, 13, a pupil at Stafford Grammar School, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes just before her 11th birthday.
She has since become an ambassador for the charity Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, and the organisation has asked her to join a panel of young people in Parliament to talk to ministers on April 25 about how the condition affects their lives.
Darcy also met with Stafford MP Jeremy Lefroy on Monday to urge him to join the event and help the fight for more funding into the condition.
