Story

Hi everyone, 

This year we have chosen to support a charity which was set up for MND by Doddie Weir. 

Doddie was diagnosed with MND in 2017 and since has brought massive attention to this disease with his charitable fundraising. His great work is inspirational in raising awareness for a cause which most have never given a second thought to. 

Doddie and I are not only neighbouring farmers, but good friends too. 

I, along with my son, 2 daughter's partner's and 3 good friends are going to do The Lions Trek which is a walk from Melrose to Murrayfield. We will be starting at 8am and hopefully getting to the finish line before the end of the day. It's 30 miles guys! It will be hard and so it should be, as hopefully it will encourage you to give generously. 

This cause means a great deal to me because of Doddie, so come on please dig deep, this will keep me smiling as we take on this challenge. 

Any donation will be greatly appreciated. 

Many thanks

Danny
