Lodged by Jackie Dunbar (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 23 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament commends Rueben Clark, aged 12, from Bridge of Don, after he helped to raise over £10,000 for charitable causes; understands that Rueben decided to start his own charity, after his friend’s dad was diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND), in order to remodel the family’s garden for wheelchair access; further understands that fundraising efforts have included raffles, with Rueben even auctioning off his own quad bike for the cause; understands that approximately 200 people are newly diagnosed with MND in Scotland each year, and that approximately 400 people are living with MND in Scotland at any one time; understands that, as well as MND, Rueben has an interest in many charitable causes, and is now looking to launch a Christmas toy appeal for children living in Aberdeen who have been most affected by the cost of living crisis; commends Rueben for his efforts, and wishes him all the best with his fundraising events going forward.
