That Parliament commends the efforts of the inspirational cancer survivor, Rev Julie Moody, Milton of Campsie Parish Church minister, who is swimming 500 lengths of her local pool at Kirkintilloch Leisure Centre, supported by her two children Josiah, 11, and Esther, 9, to raise funds for vital medical research into the disease; notes that the family’s marathon feat is part of the annual UK-wide Swimathon event in aid of charities Marie Curie and Cancer Research UK; understands that Julie has been treated for breast cancer twice and is grateful for the medical care that she said saved her life; notes that the family wants to give back to aid others; applauds them for helping to make sure that research into cancer treatment and potential cures continues, and wishes them every success in their fantastic fundraising endeavour.
