- Motion reference: S6M-00751
That the Parliament acknowledges Heather Lindsay, who is from Carfin, North Lanarkshire, and her family and friends, for walking 810 miles, the distance between Law Hospital, South Lanarkshire, and King's College Hospital, London, and back, to raise funds for the two hospitals that were instrumental in saving Heather’s life 30 years ago by coordinating and delivering a life-changing liver transplant; acknowledges the selfless acts of donors and their families across Scotland that are helping to save the lives of people like Heather every week, and, with more than 500 people each year waiting on a transplant, encourages more people in Scotland to discuss their decision to donate organs with their family, making it easier for them to honour that decision.
