HUNDREDS of supporters are expected to cheer on stars including Olympic gold medal winner Dame Katherine Grainger and former Scotland rugby captain Rob Wainwright at the Doddie Aid 2023 Britannia Regatta in the Scottish capital today.
Eight teams of celebrities will compete to see who can row the furthest in three hours in support of the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation at the event – held at the iconic Royal Yacht Britannia in Leith, Edinburgh.
Six-time rowing world champion Dame Katherine, who won gold in the double sculls at the London 2012 Olympic Games, is among a host of famous faces from rugby, television, music, and the wider sporting world who will be on deck to rack up as many miles as possible to fund MND (motor neuron disease) research.
