A twelve year old piper on the Isle of Mull is soon to complete a run of 50 days of bagpiping to support the Foundation.

12 year old Archie Johnston, a youth player at Mull RFC, decided he wanted to do something to mark Doddie's 50th birthday and support My Name'5 Doddie Foundation so he came up with the idea of playing a tune for Doddie every day...for fifty days!

So far he has raised more than £2,000 and is still going strong.

He played last weekend at Mull RFC and you can see him in action via Facebook when he played Happy Birthday on July 4th on his pipes.
