The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Willie Wilson, Crew Commander at Clydebank's community fire station, along with a 13-strong team, on raising funds for research into motor neurone disease (MND) for My Name’5 Doddie Foundation; notes that the foundation was set up by the late rugby legend, Doddie Weir; acknowledges that Willie’s father died in 2008 after being diagnosed with MND, which led him to becoming an active supporter of the cause; understands that the gruelling journey from Cardiff to Edinburgh had to be made under the pressure of time in order to reach Murrayfield Stadium for the Scotland v Wales clash in the Six Nations; appreciates the physical endurance and dedication shown to raise funds for MND, and wishes the crew the very best of success for the future.
