  • Motion reference: S6M-09087

That the Parliament recognises that Wishaw Golf Club will host a golf tournament and fundraiser in memory of Natalie Hughes; notes that around 120 golfers will take part in the annual Funky Natz Foundation tournament, which, it understands, raises money for Epilepsy Scotland in memory of 11-year-old Natalie, who died suddenly in March 2011; understands that the foundation was set up by the East Kilbride youngster's mum and dad, Eileen and Eddie, following her unexplained death and that Natalie’s uncle, Iain Cairns, from Wishaw, forms part of the committee and helps to organise the golf tournament each year, which is looking to surpass the £100,000 mark; notes that the committee will be raising funds for Neil Moore, a 5th Dan karate expert and former Scottish Champion, who, it understands, has been diagnosed with three different primary cancers over the past two years; applauds the committee and players who competed for the Funky Natz Foundation Charity Trophy on 28 May 2023 at Wishaw Golf Club, and sends its best wishes to Neil Moore, his family and friends, as well as Natalie’s family and friends.
