Charity Cycle Raises Valuable Funds in Memory of David Hill

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Roger and Lesley Hill on raising an impressive £25,350 during their latest charity adventure by successfully cycling from Murrayfield in Edinburgh to Dublin to raise funds and awareness of Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY); recognises the importance of this achievement after Roger lost his son, David, from sudden cardiac death after he collapsed in March 2022 while playing rugby for the Scottish Parliament team on a visit to Ireland; notes that the money will be used to fund another 200 cardiac screenings of young people in Dumfries and Galloway where David grew up, taking the total to 800; acknowledges that the money will also be used to supply 15 defibrillators to secondary schools across Dumfries and Galloway; recognises that this news came on what would have been David’s 33rd birthday and is a fitting tribute to a much-cherished son, friend and colleague, who remains sorely missed, and wishes Roger and Lesley continued success in future fundraising ventures for such a worthy cause and lasting memory of David.
