This January, I’m turning 60, and what better way to celebrate than by cycling over 700 miles in just 4 days? I’ll be joining my good mate Rob Wainwright and a team of incredible cyclists for this challenge, which will take us from the South West of Scotland, starting on the 5th of February, and finishing in Edinburgh on Saturday, 8th February.

I’m riding to raise funds for the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation and support the ongoing battle against MND (Motor Neuron Disease). The foundation has already made a significant impact, but the fight is far from over. They remain fully committed to achieving their mission of "A World Free of MND."

As I push through the tough moments, I’ll be thinking of my friends Doddie Weir and Paul ‘The Judge’ Rendall, whose courageous battles with MND were tragically cut short. Their memory drives me to keep going, as I know the impact this cause has had on so many lives.
