Orkney Brothers Cycle for The Archie Foundation 

Lodged by Liam McArthur (Scottish Liberal Democrats) Standard Motion 11 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates brothers Malcolm and Russell Clark, from Hoy in Orkney, on raising over £2,000 for children's healthcare charity, The Archie Foundation; understands that the brothers fundraised for the charity by cycling to and from their school every day for a week, amounting to a daily 18-mile roundtrip across some of Orkney's hilliest and most challenging roads; further understands that Malcolm, who was born three months premature and spent the first few months of his life in the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary neonatal unit, benefited greatly from the specialist services and care he received through support from organisations like The Archie Foundation; believes that Malcolm and Russell were inspired to undertake this fundraising challenge to give back to those who helped Malcolm and to support them in their ongoing efforts to provide vital healthcare to premature and sick babies and their families; commends Malcolm and Russell for their fantastic efforts on behalf of such an important cause, and wishes them the best for the future.
