Cycling, 31 January 2023
Just when you thought January would be spent on the sofa, eating leftover chocolate coins, and counting down the days until the 6 Nations starts, it is back, Doddie Aid 2023!

Story

I'll be cycling (albeit from the comfort of the Peleton in our spare room) the distance from the Millenium Stadium to Murrayfield in time for the Scotland v Wales match on Feb 11th. It's a total distance of 397 miles. I've done 322 miles so far (Feb 1st) so still some way to go yet!

Doddie's story has transcended the rugby world. To fearlessly face down his diagnosis and improve the research landscape for people living with MND is mind-blowing. And to have done it with a smile never far from his lips, and humour punctuating every call to action, Doddie is an inspiration. Doddie Aid is a way for us all to do our little bit to help him and the Foundation in the quest to find better treatments for MND.
