Meet the Mad Giraffe!

We’re very proud to announce our new book in collaboration with You Are The Star Books, celebrating the life of the late, great Doddie Weir!

The Mad Giraffe books fully involve your child, including their name, appearance and home town, in an exceptionally illustrated, heartfelt adventure.

The book teaches children about the importance of sport but also how to deal with adversity, something Doddie taught us all so well.

While there will be setbacks, there will also always be fun, love, laughter and tartan!

Please see the link here https://bit.ly/3ueZvK9 for full details and how to purchase this inspiring book.

30% of each book sold goes straight to My Name’5 Doddie Foundation to raise vital funds and awareness for MND research.
