Doddie Weir would have been so proud of raising £5m, says ex-Scotland captain
Former rugby star Rob Wainwright has said his friend Doddie Weir would have been “immensely proud” after £5 million was raised to research motor neurone disease (MND).
Weir was diagnosed with MND in 2016 and set up the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, to fund research into the debilitating condition, before his death in 2022.
Wainwright, a former teammate, set up Doddie Aid in 2021 to organise mass participation events
