We are thrilled to share the news that My Name'5 Doddie Foundation CEO, Jill Douglas, has been recognised in the New Year's honours list for her services to sport and charity, receiving an MBE.

Jill said: “It is a privilege to be involved in live sport, I’ve been fortunate to be trackside or pitch side for some incredible sporting moments. From my early days in local newspapers and regional TV, to working on global events, I’ve been given wonderful opportunities by my editors and producers and worked with brilliant professionals who bring sport into our homes every day.

“Sport is a huge part of our family life and the way the sporting world and wider community has stepped up and supported Doddie and My Name’5 Doddie Foundation is just incredible. MND is a devastating disease and we will continue to do all we can to support people living with motor neuron disease and hopefully, one day, find a cure.”

A huge congratulations once again Jill and here's to a fantastic 2022!
