- Kathy Weir, widow of rugby star George "Doddie" Weir, expressed immense gratitude as fundraising efforts for motor neurone disease (MND) treatments surpassed £2 million.
- The Doddie’s Triple Crown endurance cycling challenge, a 750-mile event held in March, contributed £1.6 million to this significant total.
- The funds raised directly support the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, established by her late husband, which is dedicated to advancing treatments for the degenerative condition.
- Mrs Weir participated in the challenging cycling event, highlighting the growing support for Doddie's legacy and the wider MND community.
- Rob Wainwright, Doddie Weir's former teammate, noted the "staggering" fundraising, with all proceeds directed to frontline MND research, emphasising that the support continues to grow.
