Doddie Aid raises funds for Doddie Weir's ‘My Name’5 Doddie’ Foundation. In his memory, communities across Scotland and the UK are being challenged to get active for six weeks from the start of January and rack up miles for their chosen district eg North & Midlands, Edinburgh, Glasgow etc.
Doddie Weir was a Scotland and British & Irish Lion's player who passed away recently as his heroic battle against Motor Neuron Disease came to a close. Since diagnosis, his indomitable bravery and spirit captivated the global rugby community and beyond, helping raising millions of pounds to fund research projects and raise awareness of the tragic disease.
Former pupils and Scottish Internationals Jamie Ritchie and Zander Fagerson have been calling on members of the Rugby community to sign up to the Doodie Aid challenge.
