My Name’5 Doddie Foundation Business Club

11 Jul 2025

When Scott Stewart attended last year’s Genesis Scottish Open as Honorary
Starter, few could have imagined the profound impact he would have on the
tournament, as well as the wider golfing and sporting communities. Scott, who
was diagnosed with motor neuron disease (MND) in 2023, was a scratch golfer and
lifelong fan of the sport. He died in December last year, but throughout his
diagnosis remained fiercely committed to raising awareness for MND, as well as
My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, determined to shine a spotlight on what he
and thousands of others face every day. Now, the Genesis Scottish Open has paid
tribute to Scott’s life and legacy by officially naming a stand in his
honour. The Scott Stewart Stand opened this week on the 9th hole of the
Renaissance Club golf course in North Berwick - a place filled with special
memories for the Stewart family. During this year’s Pro-Am competition on
Wednesday 9 July, Scott’s family, including his wife Robyn, gathered to
cut the ribbon and open the stand. Cameras captured a poignant moment as Bob
MacIntyre, Scotland’s number one golfer, finished his round on the 9th
hole and joined the unveiling. Bob, the world number 14 and 2025 US Open runner
up, is a long-term supporter of My Name’5 Doddie Foundation. This year, he
has returned to defend his Genesis Scottish Open title with a custom golf bag
covered in the unmistakable blue and yellow Doddie Weir tartan, to play what he
describes as a small part in raising awareness of the impact of MND: “This
has been a cause close to my heart for some time,” said Bob. “I am
proud to be a small cog that keeps awareness and fundraising as high as
possible.” Our CEO Nicola Roseman said: “Scott embodied the
strength, warmth, and resilience that so many in the MND community show every
day. His passion for golf never left him, even in the toughest of times. The
Scott Stewart Stand is a moving tribute to his memory – a place where his
love for the game and his commitment to helping others will be celebrated by
fans for years to come.” As the golf tournament unfolds this week,
thousands of spectators will pass through the Scott Stewart stand. The Genesis
Scottish Open, in partnership with My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, is proud
to dedicate this space to Scott - a place for fans to gather, reflect and
celebrate the sport and community he loved so much. As well as being a voice for
the MND community, Scott set up Team Rae - named after his and Robyn’s
daughter - to raise funds towards a cure for MND through My Name’5 Doddie
Foundation. To help support Scott’s legacy, you can donate to the Team Rae

Today on Doddie’s 55th birthday, our community has come together in a new video to mark the day.

Howard Amey and fellow members of the MotorOn Cymru team completed a 900+ mile
cycle across France at the end of May, in memory of their friend Bob Gledhill.
In doing so, they’ve raised £2,519 for My Name’5 Doddie
Foundation - an amount that will be match funded by Howard’s employer,
Boeing - bringing the total to over £5,000. The 12 day challenge began in
St Malo, Brittany, and finished in Nice, on the Mediterranean coast of the
Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. The route saw Howard and the team
tackle 19,000 metres (62,340 feet) of elevation, going through the Massif
Central and the Alps. MotorOn Cymru are a campaign group of family and friends
who raise funds and awareness for MND in South Wales through supporting My
Name’5 Doddie Foundation. The group was set up by Bob Gledhill, who was
diagnosed with MND in October 2020. Following Bob’s diagnosis, he and his
wife Lowri soon discovered there was a lack of support and guidance for those
living with MND in Wales,  and no opportunity to take part in clinical
trials. As a result, the MotorOn Cymru team was formed. Bob sadly died in August
2024,  but the MotorOn team continue to take on challenges - both big and
small - in his memory. Reflecting on the recent ride, Howard, a good friend of
Bob’s, said: “It was inspired by Bob’s courage and fortitude
in his fight against MND.”  The team began training last year with a
ride from Cheddar to Bangor, and continued training through the winter into
early spring. But it wasn’t just physical fitness the team needed to plan
for - logistics such as transport, ferries, accommodation and food all had to be
thought of ahead of time. Thankfully, the team’s family members stepped in
as the support crew.  “Teamwork is vital with any such
challenge,” Howard said, “the cycling was hard, but we
couldn’t have completed the ride without the support crew and
everyone’s team effort.” Throughout those tough moments, Howard
notes that it was “memories of Bob, supporter’s donations and
encouragement” that kept them all going.  Highlights from the ride
included the Alpine scenery, as well as climbing Alpe d’Huez and reaching
the summit of Col de la Bonette - the highest paved road in France at 2,715
metres.  The team celebrated the end of the ride with pizza and beer at a
restaurant overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, before beginning the journey home
in the support van the next morning. Looking back on what he got out of the
experience, Howard said: “I got a great sense of achievement from both
completing the ride and making a contribution to the Foundation’s efforts.
But most of all, the friendships that will last the test of time and a feeling
of belonging to a bigger thing - that is the MND community.” To anyone
thinking about fundraising for My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, Howard has
simple advice: “To borrow a slogan, ‘just do it.’ The
Foundation will support you all the way and provide guidance and encouragement,
as well as help with publicity.” Indeed, the MotorOn team are already
starting to plan their next big challenge - a ride across the top of Spain in
2026. Follow them here to stay up to date, and for more information about
