As the whistle blew for kick off in the Doddie Weir Cup at the Principality Stadium, it also called time on Doddie Aid for another year.

What a Doddie Aid it was, as the headline numbers suggest:

  • 17,000 participants
  • £900,000 raised
  • 2 million miles covered

Your support makes such a difference, for instance, during Doddie Aid alone, we were able to commit £150,000 to support patients living with MND.

We’d like to say a huge thank you everyone who took part – the sense of community is one of the things that makes this event so very special and we’re already planning for next year!

We’ve recorded a full wrap up video here hosted by Gabby Logan and featuring Rob Wainwright and Dougie Vipond as they reflect on some of the highlights of this year’s event.
