The motion

That the Parliament commends the Melrose rugby coaches, Bruce Ruthven, Nicholas Alston and Blair Roden, on raising £3,000 for the Borders General Hospital and Western General Hospital; understands that the trio raised the money through a sponsored 41-mile journey from Moffat to Melrose, which involved a 15-mile run, a one-mile kayak, a 400m-open swim and a 25-mile cycle; notes that the money was raised as part of the Move with Mark fundraiser, which was founded by Hannah and Lachlan Gaddie after their father, Mark, was diagnosed with cancer; thanks Bruce, Nicholas and Blair for their efforts in raising this money, and wishes them and the Move with Mark fundraiser all the best.
