This year I'll be raising money for the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation through the Line-Up charity fashion show.
Doddie Weir OBE was one of rugby’s most recognisable personalities. In 2017 he revealed he was suffering from Motor Neuron Disease. From the outset, Doddie was driven to help fellow sufferers and seek ways to further research into this, as yet, incurable disease.
The Foundation is committed to helping improve the lives of those affected by Motor Neuron Disease. We help to fund grants, giving considerable sums to our friends at MND Association and MND Scotland to administer to individuals and families living with MND, initiate and encourage research to better understand the information and support needs of MND patients and their families.We engage with patients through the provision of information about latest developments and the opportunity to shape research priorities clinical trials and rapidly translating results into clinical practice.
