Story
London Scottish Rugby Club and Leicester Junior Tri Club have pulled together an amazing team of cyclists, keen to do their bit to raise money for My Name'5 Doddie Foundation. We will all be cycling for 2 days (day and night) along the cold and dark winter roads to raise funds for this wonderful charity.
The team will aim to complete the challenge in 50 hours and will cover over 500 miles in the process. The team is being supported by Evolution Fitness Studio, a premier indoor cycling and fitness studio in the heart of SW London.
Among the individuals taking part there will be some well kent names from British rugby over the last 30 years. Including Mike Teague from England, Shane Williams from Wales, Paul Wallace from Ireland and Craig Chalmers from Scotland. As well as heroes of the cycling world in Mark Beaumont and maybe even Sir Chris Hoy himself for a few miles!
All monies will go directly to the charity, and into research to find effective treatments for this dreadful disease. All cyclists will be covering all the costs of their own ride and support vehicles.
My Name'5 Doddie Foundation has ploughed £6.5m into MND research in the last 4 years, and we hope that a breakthrough in treatment will be just round the corner, in time for Doddie, and to help the countless future victims of MND.
Any support you can offer would be amazing, with the wonderful support of the WRU, we hope to hand the ball to Doddie himself just before the match KO in Cardiff.
Many thanks,
Team London Scottish
