Rachel Biggar's Charity Fundraiser in Memory of Her Dad

Lodged by Finlay Carson (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party) Standard Motion 24 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Rachel Biggar on raising more than £16,000 for the Royal Scottish Agricultural Benevolent Institution, after embarking on a gruelling 100km running challenge in Greece, where she now lives, completing her fundraising effort, despite the 30 degree temperatures and humidity; understands that she undertook the task in memory of her father, Donald, a highly respected Dumfries and Galloway farmer, renowned for his Chapelton Herd and a stalwart of native British beef breeds, who was actively involved in many agricultural organisations including Royal Smithfield Club, Quality Meat Scotland, Scotland’s Rural College and WCF, and a long-time supporter of the RSABI, and who sadly passed away in January this year at his farm at Haugh of Urr; hopes many more people will contribute to Rachel’s online fundraising page before it closes in October, and wishes her well in future fundraising adventures and her valuable contribution to charity.
