To kick start my 2021 and inspired by the legend that is Sir Kevin Sinfield, I wanted to join a challenge to raise awareness and funds for a condition which has impacted many rugby legends across both codes, as well as numerous others

My challenge will be to walk, run, cycle  and genuinely move my body 150 miles over the course of January for the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation and raise money to go towards MND research.

Would love it if you could share, donate or even get involved yourself by getting moving.

Thank you so much for reading and happy new year!

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. Any exercise counts, and your miles can be logged into your personal total on the trac4good app. And it also goes into your District team total. Come the 6th February 2021, we will see which District has logged the most miles. Though there are a few other criteria to the competition too, such as Conversions! See www.doddieAID.com for all the details and to join in.
