The motion

That the Parliament recognises the efforts of Kevin Woodward, of Cowdenbeath, and Stuart MacKenzie, of Ballingry, on their fundraising mission for Andy’s Man Club; understands that the pair have set themselves the challenge of completing the 96-mile West Highland Way in the space of two days; notes that the pair will set off from Milngavie at 6.00 am on 21 June 2023, with the goal of reaching the end point of Fort William the following evening; considers that walking non-stop and through the night will be an emotional, mental, and physical strain for the pair; recognises that both men are facilitators at the Andy’s Man Club in Cowdenbeath, and are eager to raise money and awareness of the club; commends the men for their hard work and dedication to supporting local men with their mental health after they began attending the club themselves; thanks them for all that they are doing to break down the barriers and stigma surrounding men’s mental health, and wishes them all the very best on their fundraising journey.
