AN inspirational dad who was diagnosed with motor neurone disease 12 months ago has raised nearly half a million pounds for Doddie Weir’s charity.
Dad-of-three James Clarke, 42, has managed to raise a whopping £441,421 for the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation after taking on a gruelling 50-mile celebrity-backed cycling challenge and a glamourous fundraising ball.
The Hampshire man was diagnosed with the terminal condition in December 2021 and has pledged to raise as much money as he can for vital research into the disease in honour of rugby star Weir, who passed away in November.
