That the Parliament understands that Liz Couser, a lung cancer survivor from Johnstone, plans to undertake three sponsored walks to raise awareness of lung cancer and raise funds for the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation; further understands that after completing the three sponsored walks during November, which is Lung Cancer Awareness Month, Liz will have walked the length of the Forth and Clyde Canal; notes that Liz, after becoming cancer-free, was determined to highlight the need for Scotland’s lung cancer screening provision to improve and to raise funds for the charity which helped with her own recovery; commends Liz for her determination to use her own experience of lung cancer as an inspiration to help others, and understands that Liz believes that her own treatment, which was provided by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, was exemplary and simply wants other people to get access to that same standard of care.
