Gary and Lorraines 900k ride Bangkok to Ho Chi Minh City
Fundraising for My Name'5 Doddie Foundation
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Lorraine and I are setting out on an epic journey starting in Bangkok on Tuesday 18th February. We are riding over 900 kilometres through Thailand, Cambodia and eventually arriving in Vietnam finishing at Ho Chi Minh city 2 weeks later.
A talented, committed and athletic lock forward, Doddie is now facing his biggest challenge. In June 2017 the Scot revealed he was suffering from Motor Neuron Disease. From the outset, Doddie has been driven to help fellow sufferers and seek ways to further research into this, as yet, incurable disease.
My attitude is that you should do what you can today and worry about tomorrow when it comes. This is the card I’ve been dealt so I’ve just got to crack on.
Doddie wants to help those touched by MND – be it fellow sufferers or their families having to deal with the daily consequences – with basic and practical relief, whether that be to help with mobility and transport needs, with care and respite, or access and basic living requirements.
