Oskar Thompson's Fundraising Cycle Challenge
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates five-year-old Oskar Thompson, from Orkney, on his outstanding fundraising efforts for Orkney Foodbank during the COVD-19 pandemic; understands that Oskar initially set out to raise £20 for the local charity by cycling 20 miles in seven days and has far exceeded his target by raising over £1,400 and counting; acknowledges that Oskar was inspired by his dad, Sam Thompson, who has also raised funds through a similar challenge in the past and that Sam will be joining Oskar on his cycle near their home in Deerness; believes that Oskar’s impressive efforts will ensure that some of the most vulnerable households in Orkney can access essential food during this particularly challenging period; thanks all those who have generously donated; pays tribute to Oskar for his hard work and incredible commitment to supporting others, and wishes him all the best for the completion of his challenge.
