Doddie Weir is a former Scotland rugby union player and Lion. A giant of the game and a rugby icon, his story is unique, inspirational and charged with a passion for living life to the full. In a rugby career which had huge highs and shocking lows, Doddie faced some of the greatest players in the game, from Jonny Wilkinson to Jonah Lomu, Brian O'Driscoll to Scott Quinnell and Martin Johnson to Joost van der Westhuizen, and set stadiums alight when "on the charge like a mad giraffe". In 2017 as part of Global MND Awareness Day, Doddie announced he had been diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease (MND). Never to shy away from a challenge, on or off the pitch, he has faced up to MND with undaunted positivity, using his boundless energy to raise funds for MND research and support, with more than GBP1million already raised and committed in the first year.
