Doddie’s Diary

Weir, Doddie

£9.99

In 2016, Doddie Weir’s life – as much-loved sporting hero and Borders farmer – switched direction with the same speed and power this indefatigable No. 5 once displayed on the rugby pitch. Reeling from his own MND diagnosis, Doddie became a standard-bearer for all those valiantly seeking to halt Motor Neuron Disease in its tracks. It’s a platform Doddie has unhesitatingly used to the max. During these unprecedented times, Doddie has received an OBE, celebrated his 50th birthday, helped pledge close to 10 million for MND research and his fellow sufferers – all amid a whirl of golfing challenges, charity cycle rides, book festivals and awards ceremonies. Now ‘Doddie’s Diary’ lifts the lid on the highs, the lows, the laughter and the tears of the last few years. Each day shows an astonishing, inspirational man who simply refuses to give in.
