Clan Cancer Support Launches Fundraising Event

Lodged by Jackie Dunbar (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 19 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises the launch of Clan Cancer Support’s fundraising effort, The Big Hop Trail, a competition where artists submit their design ideas to decorate forty, two metre-tall hare sculptures, which will be auctioned in 2023 to raise money for the charity’s 40th anniversary; notes that the hare sculpture was chosen because hares are indigenous to the north east, navigate rough difficult terrain to survive and, most importantly, have exceptional hearing, a quality vital to the charity’s purpose; understands that the campaign is a collaborative effort with Wild in Art, a producer of public art events and which helped the charity to raise £324,000 in 2021 with their Light the North trail; notes that 100 local schools will also be involved by decorating smaller hare sculptures to accompany the larger hares along The Big Hop Trail; commends all those involved with organising the event, and wishes the best for all participants.
