ALL 4 MND 400 mile Cycle

We are a group of ageing, over weight, retired Rugby Players from Ipswich. Inspired by Doddie Weir, Rob Burrow, Ed Slater and fundraising heroes like Kevin Sinfield; we have decided to pick up the baton, to give our best and raise some serious funds to assist in the ongoing fight to find a cure and effective treatments for MND.

We have set ourselves the considerable challenge to cycle from Ipswich Rugby Club to Melrose Rugby Club in the Borders of Scotland. The journey is 400+ miles which we will complete with a team of 40 over 4 days with an aim of raising £40,0000 for the My Names Doddie Foundation & 4Ed Campaign. We will be stopping at 4 great rugby institutions on route: Leicester Tigers Mattioli Woods Welford Road Stadium, Leeds Rhinos Rugby League Stadium Headingley, Newcastle Falcons Kingston Park Stadium and Melrose Rugby Club. These clubs are closely associated with Doddie Weir, Rob Burrow and Ed Slater.

As a group of novice cyclists many of the team need to buy bikes and set about a rigorous training regime to condition the ass for many hours in an uncomfortable saddle. It will be a tale of great friendships making great memories to add to those of our past playing/drinking days. We will follow the My Names Doddie Foundations key pillar of 'Love, Fun and Hope' in all we do on this great challenge.
