The motion

That the Parliament recognises the achievements of the Inverclyde Globetrotters, a group of virtual walkers affiliated to Chest Heart and Stroke Scotland (CHSS); understands that the group has cumulatively walked more than 50,000 miles and taken 105 million steps, the equivalent of walking around the world; notes what it sees as the group's significant contribution, in line with all CHSS groups, to the promotion of a healthy lifestyle and regular exercise while providing a source of education and social interaction through fun and innovative virtual challenges; congratulates it on being a finalist in the NHS Physical Activity Health Alliance’s Active Factor Awards for 2011, and wishes it well with its next challenge, in conjunction with the national network of CHSS groups across Scotland, to complete a virtual lunar trek, covering the equivalent of the 238,857 miles to the moon and aiming to highlight what it sees as the important work of CHSS in providing ongoing support, building confidence and promoting a healthy lifestyle in local communities across Scotland.
