#nevergiveup was Doddie's mantra and I might have to apply a bit of that as I pedal up the country clad in Doddie'5 tartan. I had a friend at Uni who was diagnosed with MND in our final year and saw the devastating effects of the disease, so when Doddie was diagnosed there was no better way to support the cause than by using the skills of the amazing Emily Redman within my company, ScotlandShop, and designing a tartan for the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation and a range of fabulous products, with every sale raising vital funds. And now it's my turn to sweat a bit and do a bit more fundraising.

The My Name'5 Doddie Foundation is absolutely committed to their goal: A World Free of MND. "We will leave no stone unturned in the relentless pursuit of this goal as we fund, guide and enable the smartest, most efficient MND research to catalyse a cure for motor neuron disease."

I can't wait to help them in this cause.
