Great Glen Non-stop Kayak Challenge for Andy's Man Club

Lodged by Annabelle Ewing Standard Motion 18 supporters

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 Great Glen Way, Fort William to Inverness, in kayaks, non-stop; further understands that this is after their fundraising efforts in 2023, in which they walked the 96-mile West Highland Way in 39 hours; considers that kayaking 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.
