Weir set up the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation to fund research into MND.
Three friends including a former Scotland rugby forward who played with Doddie Weir are set to embark on a daunting road trip across Europe to raise thousands of pounds for research into motor neurone disease .
The challenge involves teams chipping in to buy a car worth no more than £1,000 then driving from Edinburgh to Rome over 12 days, stopping overnight at locations which are only revealed to the teams each morning before they set off. “This year there are 34 vehicles taking part. We do a showcase in Monaco then we work our way down to Rome where we’re allowed to park at the Colosseum.
“That’s when the fun starts because Alan’s supposed to be going on holiday with his family and I’ve got a job in Dubai, so we both have to get back home in three days,” he said.
