That the Parliament commends Orange Diddams, a probationary Petty Officer with Irvine Sea Cadets, on her decision to compete in the Superhero Triathlon at Dorney Lake, Windsor; recognises that Orange, who is deaf and a wheelchair user, has overcome a lifelong fear of water in order to train for the swimming element of the triathlon, supported by her friend, Becky; notes that she will complete the cycling stage using a handcycle and the running stage in a wheelchair; celebrates her efforts to raise funds for Irvine Sea Cadets to ensure that young people can access activities without financial barriers; acknowledges her wide-ranging contributions to the community, including teaching British Sign Language for free, playing saxophone with the Northern Area Sea Cadet Band, competing internationally in martial arts, and inspiring others with her determination and resilience, and wishes her every success in her challenge.
