That this House congratulates Sara Cox on completing her remarkable Great Northern Marathon Challenge, during which she covered 135 miles in five days, the equivalent of five marathons, from Kielder Forest to Pudsey, raising over £11.5 million for BBC Children in Need; recognises the tremendous physical, mental, and emotional commitment required to undertake such a challenge; acknowledges that the funds raised by Ms Cox will make a profound and lasting difference to the lives of children and young people facing hardship; and calls upon the Government to commend her generosity, endurance, and leadership.
