An ex-teammate of the late Doddie Weir has praised the rugby great for giving motor neurone disease a voice as he prepares to raise funds for research.
Andy Nicol and his fellow 1988 Scotland schoolboys teammates will take on an 88km (55 miles) challenge to raise cash for the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation.
The Doddie 88 challenge aims to raise £88,000 and involves a 65km cycle and 23km walk from the Borders to the Doddie statue at Murrayfield on March 16 and 17.
