Highly-dedicated Fundraising for Scottish Autism by Father and Daughter from Aberfoyle

Lodged by Alexander Stewart Standard Motion 26 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the news that an Aberfoyle father and daughter have embarked on another adventuring challenge in aid of raising awareness of autism; believes that Ian and Eve Alderman already succeeded in walking the entire length of the UK in 2022, from Dunnet Head, at the very top of Scotland, to Lizard Point, the most southerly point in the UK, beyond Land’s End; understands that this challenge was not considered sufficient by Ian and Eve, and that Eve has dreams of one day scaling Mount Everest; notes that, in an effort to continue raising awareness of neurodiversity, the father and daughter plan to take on a 1,900 mile backpacking trek to through-hike each of Scotland’s 29 Great Trails with the mission of completing them all by 2024; considers that, along the way, the duo will also be raising money for Scottish Autism, a cause that is close to their hearts, with the first trek commencing on 30 January 2023 on the Great Trossachs Path, starting in Callander and winding its way up to Inversnaid; acknowledges that, in 2022, they walked 1,300 miles, the length of the UK, and raised over £15,000 for the National Autistic Society; wishes them all the very best in their endeavours, and commends Ian and Eve on their absolute focus, dedication and commitment.
