Join Team Rae in the quest to raise vital funds for research and working towards a cure for MND.

Since being diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease in March 2023 , I have been blown away by the support, warmth and generosity shown by family, friends and strangers alike.

Nothing could ever have prepared us for what has come next; the frustration of my slow, progressive decline and anger that in 2024, there are limited treatments and no cure.

Our daughter, Rae, was born on May 20th 2024. I want her to grow up in the knowledge that her Dad did everything he could to help raise awareness and educate others about the condition, and so that she could live in a world free from MND.

We have been asked countless times in the past 18 months:-

’Let me know if I can help in any way’

We want to ask you now to help Team Rae raise money for My Name’5 Doddie Foundation from now, until what would have been Doddie Weir’s 55th Birthday - 4th July 2025.

Doddie Weir put the needs of others ahead of his own, to be the catalyst for what is now not just awareness, it is a movement towards finding better treatments and an ultimate cure.

The My Name’5 Doddie Foundation funds vital research projects to find that cure, however, to our family it means so much more. They have embraced us, made us part of the ‘Doddie Family’ and left us in no doubt that their work will not stop until better treatment and cure are found.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

We invite you to think up any way that you might be able to raise money and make a contribution towards our total. You might want to:-

*run

*cycle

*swim

*sell

*bake

*climb

*jump

*something non-physical or endurance based

Whatever you think you can do, in the year before July 4th 2025, we will support you. No act is too big, no contribution too small.

If you don’t want to set a challenge, you can still make a donation through this page.

THE TARGET

We have set up this page with a notional target, but invite you to help us absolutely smash past this number. Every penny counts towards projects that the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation funds and we want to bring our team together from far and wide under the banner of ‘Team Rae’ to make our contribution.
