That the Parliament congratulates Sheenah Nelson from Helensburgh on winning an award in recognition of her ongoing work to teach lifesaving skills to others; celebrates that Sheenah was recognised with the Champions of Change award from the Rotary International of Great Britain and Ireland; notes that Sheenah, a retired teacher, has campaigned for years to teach the public about vital lifesaving skills to improve the survival rates for heart attacks and cardiac arrests that happen in public; thanks Sheenah for her years of service, not only in the lessons that she delivers but also for her work fundraising to provide and install 200 community defibrillators across the Helensburgh and Lomond area; hopes that others follow Sheenah’s example and learn the lifesaving skills that Sheenah promotes, and wishes her all the best as she continues her important work.
