Welcome to my Just Giving fundraising page! I am running the 2023 Edinburgh Marathon for My Name'5 Doddie Foundation in order to raise as much money as possible.

Doddie Weir OBE was one of rugby’s most recognisable personalities. He earned 61 caps for Scotland during a successful playing career, represented the British and Irish Lions on their successful tour to South Africa in 1997, and won championships with his two club sides, Melrose and Newcastle Falcons.

A talented, committed and athletic lock forward, Doddie then faced his biggest challenge. In June 2017 the Scot revealed he was suffering from Motor Neuron Disease. From the outset, Doddie was driven to help fellow sufferers and seek ways to further research into this, as yet, incurable disease.

MND is a horrible disease and I would be so grateful if you could take the time to sponsor me to help the cause and to motivate me in my training!
