That the Parliament congratulates Andrew Donaldson, 29, and Michael Atherton, 26, of Perth, who recently climbed to the Mount Everest Base Camp in the Himalayas to raise money for the Scottish Association of Mental Health (SAMH); notes that the pair raised around £8,500 for charity, with some funding coming from local businesses; further notes that the pair embarked on the challenge in memory of the late Sean Wallace, a childhood friend of Andrew Donaldson, to mark 10 years since his death, and wishes both men and SAMH all the best for the future.
