What a way to 'sow' your support for the Foundation 🌾 We've got no idea how, but Crawford from Gloagburn Farm has created this brilliant image of our logo & Doddie jumping in a lineout in a rye field 👏 You can even walk around the field for a donation:

A very happy birthday to Stephen Darby @DarbyRimmerMND - who turns 33 today 🥳 Steven was diagnosed with MND aged 29 cutting short his football career. Since then, he has worked tirelessly to raise the profile of MND 💪 Hope you have a lovely day Stephen!

Thank you to Sophie who fundraised for My Name'5 Doddie Foundation by holding a plant sale & raffle 🌴 Sophie met Doddie recently when a charity walk passed through his farm & they had a chance to have a wee chat.
