In 2016, Doddie Weir's life - as much-loved sporting hero and
Borders farmer - switched direction with the same speed and power
this indefatigable No. 5 once displayed on the rugby pitch. Reeling
from his own MND diagnosis, Doddie became a standard-bearer for all
those valiantly seeking to halt Motor Neuron Disease in its tracks.
It's a platform Doddie has unhesitatingly used to the max. 'I never
set out to take the lead,' he says. 'It just happened - like MND
itself. But we are making a fight of it.' And so he continues to
live life at full tilt: as a tireless fundraiser for the My Name'5
Doddie Foundation and as a family man with a debilitating,
unpredictable and incurable disease. During these unprecedented
times, Doddie has received an OBE, celebrated his 50th birthday,
helped pledge close to GBP10 million for MND research and his
fellow sufferers - all amid a whirl of golfing challenges, charity
cycle rides, book festivals and awards ceremonies . . . Now
DODDIE'S DIARY lifts the lid on the highs, the lows, the laughter
and the tears of the last few years. Each day shows an astonishing,
inspirational man who simply refuses to give in as he brings his
down-to-earth positivity and legendary sense of humour to the
battle against MND. Just as on the pitch, it's a battle he's
determined to win.
