That the Parliament expresses its great sadness at the passing of Jen Hardy MBE, who passed away peacefully on 20 March 2026 at Edinburgh’s Western General Hospital, surrounded by family; notes the inspirational work of Jen, who founded the charity, Cancer Card, in 2021 following her diagnosis of incurable stage 4 breast cancer in 2017; understands that Jen was instrumental in successfully campaigning to make Pertuzumab (Perjeta) available via NHS Scotland, which is a drug that can help to extend life projections in cancer patients; believes that, since the founding of Cancer Card, tens of thousands of Scots diagnosed with cancer have been supported by the charity; notes that Jen was appointed an MBE in 2023 for her outstanding leadership and inspirational support for people affected by cancer; recognises how wonderful a person Jen was and the positive impact that she had on everyone she met, and celebrates the achievements of such an incredible woman, whose legacy will continue through Cancer Card.
