That the Parliament commends Dunblane Boys' Brigade member, Jamie Oldham, on completing the triple sporting challenge fundraising event at Dunblane Sports Hub as part of the Boys' Brigade club’s efforts to support the Malawian village of Likhubula in the East African nation; understands that Jamie recently took on the challenge of completing a near-triple marathon distance of 75 miles in a single day while taking part in three different sports, alternating between rowing machine, exercise bike and tennis courts; notes that the sponsored event was part of the local Boys' Brigade Malawi 2025 group, which will see a group travel to the village of Likhubula, with whom Dunblane has had a near two-decade-long relationship, with small-scale, sustainable projects funded with the aim of improving the lives of those living there; acknowledges that the Boys' Brigade club is hoping to raise £21,000 in total from individual sponsorship efforts to ensure that everyone who was selected for the trip team can travel regardless of their means to pay for such an expensive journey; believes that, for the full month of October, 25 Junior Section in Dunblane will take on cycling challenges to raise funds for fertiliser and food aid in Likhubula; commends everyone for their efforts and thanks all those who have kindly supported the group with donations; extends its very best wishes for the success of the fundraising effort and the upcoming coffee morning and the soup and sweet lunch in Dunblane Cathedral Hall, and hopes that everyone enjoys the planned trip to Malawi in 2025.
