Next week (10th – 13th March) two of our colleagues, David Lovell and Ben Gladstone, are taking part in an epic 800-mile route through Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland, as part of a 400 strong group of riders delivering the match ball for the (probable) Triple Crown decider on the final day of the Six nations on the 14th March.
David and Ben have done a few of the Doddie Aid rides over the last few years and are part of a strong-looking London Scottish team, the rugby club where David is a coach in the Youth section. The club has a long-standing link with Doddie Aid, as Rob Wainwright OBE, ex London Scottish player, was a good friend of Doddie and now heads up the annual Doddie Aid ride.
DoddieAid was founded in 2017 by the legendary Scotland and British Lion Doddie Weir OBE who was frustrated at the lack of options given to those living with Motor Neurone Disease (“MND”) following his own diagnosis with the disease: no effective treatment, no access to meaningful clinical trials, and no hope. Doddie’s response? To set up the Foundation to help others and push forward research into this, as yet, incurable disease.
Any support is welcome. Please donate to David and Ben here:
