That the Parliament commends six-year-old Charlie Pearcy, who is from Sauchie, for cycling an incredible 300km over 30 days to raise money for the NSPCC using the bike that he had recently received as a birthday present; believes the achievement to be even more impressive as Charlie could not ride a bike without stabilisers until undertaking the challenge; notes that he was accompanied by friends and family over the 30 days; understands that he raised an amazing £760, which will go towards supporting the charity's work to protect children and young people from abuse and its efforts to provide a lifeline through its Childline service in Scotland throughout the COVID-19 pandemic; thanks Charlie for using his present for such a brilliant cause, and wishes him the best in his future adventures.
