COPY EMAIL FROM ROB WAINWRIGHT (Former Scottish Rugby International)Sent to all Rugby Clubs + Us taking part in the Doddie Cup 555 in February.BUT FIRST A FEW WORDS FROM ME Doddie Weir plus Rob Burrows and other high profile sportsmen have been truly inspirational in their efforts to raise awareness and funds in the battle to find a cure for Motor Neurone Disease. Doddie's passing last week was incredibly sad but his legacy will live on in the form of the Foundation he set up. For our little club to be invited to join former stars of the game plus the likes of Mark Beaumont and Chris Hoy on the ride to the Scottish Capital is a massive honour - I can't understate how special that invitation is for our club. I feel it only right that we do our bit in terms of raising some much-needed funds and this is a link to the Just Giving Page set up for the event. You can set up individual groups within the link and again these can be sub-divided into individual fundraising. links. All funds raised go into the main fund. Please, let's give this our best shot:-www.justgiving.com/campaign/DoddieCup555Rob's Message"Dear All,What a collection of good folk! Thank you so much for welcoming us to your various clubs for the ride, and fantastic so many of you are putting teams in too. For those with no plans to cycle thus far, I really recommend it. An epic few days is guaranteed, with memories to last a lifetime.Anyway, I am looking for the help of your rugby communities, if I could? The Doddie Cup 555 is the grand finale of the bigger 2023 Doddie Aid event. This is a mass participation exercise event, where we are looking to get as many people as possible to sign up for just £20 to 6 weeks of exercise and recording of their miles for their team. There are 6 regions they can choose from, Wales, the Baabaas (everyone else/ROTW), Edinburgh, Glasgow, The South and then the North and Mids of Scotland. In its 3rd year, we have raised £2million up till now and had 30,000 people take part. With the tragic loss of our figurehead 10 days ago, this year is even more poignant, and we want to make it bigger than ever. If we get 50,000 taking part, that is another £2 million for MND research as we hunt for solutions to this awful disease.So getting signed up and then getting the word out to the rugby family locally is what we are asking for. You just need to download the Doddie Aid app, and sign up is very simple and fast. You get sent a team snood out as a thank you too. Then you can form leagues and invite the club community to join you. You can join multiple leagues, so can do one for family, for friends, for school pals, work mates, etc....Through the 6 weeks of the event, every weekend we will be having a theme. The last weekend is obviously cycling, with those not doing the 555 able to ride some miles in solidarity with us. The first weekend is a cold water dook, as we call it up here, so be warned.I hope you can spread the word in your communities. The Wales team is new, so it will be a slow start till we get the word out. We have a strong team of the great and the good ready to do that. But the key route for recruitment is spreading the word at grassroots level! And the rugby family can be so good at responding to that.Thank you so much for being involved, and I hope, as one big team, we can make both the 555 ride and Doddie Aid a huge success. And a lot of fun. Because Doddie would always want that.Cheers, Rob" ... See MoreSee Less
