Kinglassie Soldier Marathon Challenge
The motion
That the Parliament commends 7 SCOTS Sergeant Major, Lee Penrice, for running the equivalent of 52 marathons in 52 weeks throughout 2019 to support the veterans' charity, Erskine; understands that Lee set himself the fundraising challenge after visiting an Erskine Home and spending time with residents; notes that the soldier spent 2019 running in all weathers, eventually completing 1,362 miles over 2019 with his last five miles being completed on Hogmanay, finishing at the Erskine home in Bishopton; further notes that Erskine was founded in 1916 with the aim of caring for men and women who have been injured in active service, and that it now provides unrivalled nursing, residential, respite and dementia care in four homes throughout Scotland, and wishes Lee the best of luck in the future.
