That the Parliament recognises Clydebank resident Bobby White, who has completed seven marathons in seven days across seven continents to raise money in memory of his late brother, Anton Rogan White; understands that Anton sadly passed away aged 15 in 2004 due to an undetected heart condition he had since birth; notes that since his passing, the White family has raised over £75,000 for Glasgow Children’s Hospital in recognition of the support provided to them; notes that Bobby ran his first marathon in Antarctica on 31 January 2026 before moving on to Cape Town, Perth in Australia, Dubai, Madrid, Fortaleza in Brazil and finishing in Miami, and congratulates Bobby on completing what will have been a physically demanding effort to fundraise in honour of Anton.
