Doddie's story has touched the rugby world. To fearlessly face down his diagnosis and raise £7 million in 3 years for MND research has been mind blowing. And to have done it with smile never far from his lips, and humour punctuating every call to action, Doddie does inspire. #DoddieAID is a way for us all to do our little bit to help him in his quest to find better treatments for this awful condition, and Doddie being Doddie, we hope it is going to be a lot of fun. Doddie AID is an Inter-District exercise challenge running through January until the Calcutta Cup KO. 

For me, this is even more personal, having watched my dear father wasting away as his muscles and body weakened over just 15 months from diagnosis to his passing away.

This is the second time I'm taking part, having raised £455 in 2021. I'm continuing the same Just Giving page for 2022.
