Story
Doddie's Oui Doddle is the 2027 edition of Rob Wainwright and Mark Beaumont's fundraising event in aid of My Name'5 Doddie Foundation.
The events have now raised over £4.5 million since their inception in 2018.
From February 17th - 21st 2027, our circus will set off from Edinburgh and journey to Paris via Twickenham Stadium, carrying two match balls on an unforgettable ride. The challenge will culminate in Paris ahead of Scotland’s Six Nations clash with France, raising awareness and funds in honour of Doddie Weir’s legacy.
The 'Devon Doddler's' Team is made up of 4 dads; Tim Wigram, Craig Purchase, Ben Sulliven and Alasdair Moffett- With Tim in particular having a very personal connection to MND having lost his father to the disease in 2024. With a big Farming and Rugby heritage in SW England we are keen to highlight the impact of MND in the South West. We have previously raised smaller amounts for MND via putring on charity running events but completing the Doddie's Oui Doddle will be our biggest fundraiser yet.
