Matthew Hancock MP - winner of The Silver Star Health Challenge


72 Members of Parliament with Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, Opposition Leader Ed Miliband and Community and Local Government Secretary of state Eric Pickles Attended the launch of the Silver Star Health Challenge on diabetes as part of Diwali at Westminster.

At the special testing event MPs took quick and easy Type 2 diabetes test to help raise awareness of the need for public testing for the disease and to mark the launch of EM Diabetes Day.

MPs were issued with a Silver Star Pedometer to measure the amount of steps taken during a Parliamentary Week as part of the 50 parliamentary day challenge.

The Member of Parliament that walk the most and lead the Pedometer Challenge is the MP of West Suffolk, Mr Matthew HancockMP. He has been awarded a Silver Star commemorative plaque presented by Earl Howe, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Department of Health, during the Silver Star Open Forum held on Wednesday 16th February 2011 at the House of Commons.

When he found out that he had won the prize, Matthew said:
I was surprised and delighted to find out that I am the MP who walks the farthest. I often feel rushed off my feet working for my constituents, and it is nice to be rewarded for it. Silver Star does wonderful and important work promoting awareness of diabetes, and I am happy to have had a chance to contribute to awareness of diabetes in this way”.
