Doddie Aid 2024 is here, and we want it to be bigger and better than ever

Doddie Aid is a virtual mass-participation exercise event founded by former Scotland captain, Rob Wainwright.

In 2024 the campaign will run for 5 weeks from 1 January 2023. It all comes to a close with a celebration around the Doddie Weir Cup - between Wales and Scotland at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.

Participants sign up using the Doddie Aid app, choose a district to represent, claim their FREE district snood and log all their exercise miles on the app. Any exercise counts, with the winning district being the one with the most miles at the end of the event.

The last three years have been incredible, you’ve been part of a community of almost 80,000 participants who have covered over 8 million miles and raised over £4 million for MND research in the process – and we have no intention of slowing down.

As a result of your efforts we have been able to commit more than £11m to vital MND research: funding 40 pioneering research projects to help find effective treatments and one day, a cure for motor neuron disease.

One year on from Doddie’s death, the desire to reach his goal of a world free of MND is stronger than ever.

The mile logging won’t begin until 1 January 2024, but in the meantime, you can create and join leagues with your friends, colleagues and family, check out the merchandise section (look good, feel good!), and catch up on the latest Doddie Aid news.
