Later this month, Ethan Le Roy will be taking on an epic MND Fundraiser called ‘Walk on for MND’ for My Name’5 Doddie Foundation; aiming to conquer the formidable Cape Wrath trail in record time.

Ethan is the brother-in-law of our Doddie Champion, Davy Zyw, and wants to raise funds and awareness for motor neuron disease to help people like Davy, his sister, and all the families affected and those suffering from this cruel disease.

The challenge will see Ethan attempt to complete the UK’s toughest long-distance, multi-week hike, self-supported in record time. The route is 240 miles, across boggy, boulder-strewn wilderness, from Fort William to the UK’s most North-Westerly point, Cape Wrath.

Completing this challenge in under 10 days will be the toughest thing I've ever done, but it's nothing compared to what those like Davy have to go through every day, living with this disease.
