Roseann Quigley Big Afternoon Tea for Breast Cancer Now

Lodged by Clare Adamson (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 16 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament commends Roseann Quigley, who has fundraised for Breast Cancer Now; understands that Roseann has cycled over 300km and is hosting an afternoon tea to raise vital funds for research and support for people with breast cancer; further understands that Roseann herself is a breast cancer survivor; acknowledges that the month of August is Breast Cancer Now’s Afternoon Tea month, which it understands is one of the charity’s biggest fundraising events, raising over £7 million for people affected by breast cancer since the first tea was served more than 20 years ago; understands that each year in Scotland around 4,700 women are diagnosed with breast cancer and 15% of these cases, over 700 women, will be triple negative, where treatment has gruelling side effects, and wishes Roseann all the best for the future and with her fundraising events.
