Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Having arranged a few events in support of My Name'5 Doddie I was inspired by Kevin Sinfield who ran 7 marathons in 7 days in support of Rob Burrow.

Not a runner and told by one of the cyclists on the Great Rugby Cycle round Ireland in 2021 that I should do something more 'challenging', hence the 5 in 5..The furthest I have run to date is 12 miles.

I am told it works out as 131 miles over 5 days..

I have chosen 5 different routes round East Belfast, Bangor and Holywood area and joining me for the 5 (hopefully) will by ex-Scotland rugby player and former Captain Budge Pountney, and some additional support from other friends and family for a few miles each day.

I have also enlisted a friend from University, Mark Coulter who will be completed the same challenge in Edinburgh.

Each day will be a challenge itself, and each day will I am sure seem longer than 26.2 miles..

Please give / share as MND is an horrific disease that to date has no cure.
