Story

This September, over 100 of our colleagues will be walking 100km to raise £100k for our charity partner, My Name’5 Doddie Foundation.

We will take our first steps of this great journey at dawn on Thursday 19th September. We will depart near the dramatic chalk cliffs of Beachy Head, East Sussex. We will then head west and inland, trekking on flint paths over rolling hills and through the beautiful landscape of the South Downs.

Along the three-day hike, we’ll be visiting our English Wine producers, Rathfinny Wine Estate and Wiston Estate Winery, with the final stretch for our well earnt glass of fizz (or two) at Hambledon Vineyard.

Our goal is to raise £100,000 for our charity partner My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, a charity started by the late Scottish Rugby legend Doddie Weir in 2017. Motor Neuron Disease affects one in 300 here in the UK. Half of the people diagnosed die within 24 months, a third within one year. There is currently no cure.

Our dear friend and colleague, Davy Żyw was diagnosed with this evil condition in 2018.

The odds are bad but there is hope. We have promising clinical drug trials running across the country, which are getting closer and closer to finding a meaningful treatment, and a cure for this life-stripping condition.

The money we raise will enable My Name’5 Doddie Foundation to fund the right research to fast-track progress, and also help people with the disease live their best lives. The money we will raise will make a true difference. One step, and one penny at a time.
