  • Submitted by: Sharon Dowey, South Scotland, Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party.
  • Date lodged: Friday, 03 September 2021
  • Motion reference: S6M-00949

That the Parliament commends Bob Faulks, of Troon, who has completed a cycle challenge from Troon to the Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre in Glasgow's West End; understands that Bob made the trip every day since 1 January 2021, totalling 5,250 miles in 232 days, which is a longer distance than if he were to go from Troon to Los Angeles; further understands that Bob wanted to raise funds ahead of Ayrshire Cancer Support's September A to B Challenge, which encourages cyclists to travel from locations in Ayrshire to the Beatson Centre and back; notes that Bob was successful in raising £1,145 for the charity; recognises the incredible work done by Ayrshire Cancer Support, whose drivers make about 12,000 journeys to the Beatson from Ayrshire every year to ensure cancer patients can access treatment there, and praises Bob on his charitable efforts.
