Myself and five friends know as the SB Enablers are taking part in Doddie Aid 2022.

Doddie Aid is a mass participation event, encouraging you to get active in January and raise funds to help find a cure to Motor Neurone Disease. It was founded by former Scotland captain and British and Irish Lion, Rob Wainwright and raised a staggering £1M in January 2021, with 22,000 people taking part.

Doddie's story has transcended the rugby world. To fearlessly face down his diagnosis and raise £6 million in 4 years for MND research and a further £1.25 million to support MND patients has been mind blowing. And to have done it with a smile never far from his lips, and humour punctuating every call to action, Doddie is an inspiration. Doddie Aid is a way for us all to do our little bit to help him and the Foundation in the quest to find better treatments for MND.

We have decided to take part in the challenge and raise funds as the MND Charity is close to our hearts as Nadine’s mum, Mary sadly passed away from the disease earlier on this month. Also, Kate’s mother in law, Pauline suffered with MND and passed away in 2016.

As a group we are aiming to complete 500 miles running and walking throughout the month of January.

Any donations will be much appreciated. 

Thank you

Charlotte, Nadine, Kate, Kathryn, Rachel & Kathryn
