The motion
That this House applauds the Greig Steven Memorial (GSM) for its work in supporting people of all ages living with cancer and their families, through its provision of a complimentary five-night stay at ‘Greig’s House’ located in Wemyss Bay within Park Dean Resorts; recognises the work of family, friends and colleagues of Greig Steven, who founded this charity after he sadly died in 2015, just six months after he was diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma, a very rare and aggressive form of cancer; understands the annual ‘It’s a Knockout’ event hosted by the charity at Valefield Park in Kilbirnie in June raises significant funds, around £18,000 in 2023 alone, in support of its cause; and wishes the volunteers who work so hard to promote this charity every future success in Steven Greig’s memory and all the support it will continue to provide to those living with cancer and their families, now and in the future.
