Who Would You Ride 700 Miles For?
Team Balmoral is gearing up for the Doddie's Grand Tour 2025 Arctic Challenge, a 700-mile relay cycle from Stranraer to Edinburgh, including the UK's highest pass, Glenshee. We are a dedicated group of staff and friends from Balmoral Castle, united by friendship and a shared commitment to fighting Motor Neurone Disease (MND).
For Everyone Fighting MND
Inspired by the legacy of Doddie Weir, a beloved rugby legend whose battle with MND touched millions, and in honour of our dear friend Brendan, who faces this disease with humour and resilience, we ride to raise awareness and support those affected by MND.
Why We’re Riding
- Honour Doddie Weir: Continuing his fight through the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation.
- Support Brendan: Celebrating his courage and determination.
- Raise Awareness: MND is relentless. So are we.
- Fund Research: Supporting vital research to find a cure.
- Build Community: A four-day journey symbolising resilience, unity, and hope.
How You Can Help
