Jill said: “We are overwhelmed by the huge number of people who have already signed up for this year’s Doddie Aid. It’s a real testament to Doddie’s legacy that he has inspired so many people to make a difference and help others living with MND and to one day find a cure for this disease.

Rob said: “We have come a long way, but the journey needs to be pushed on.
“There’s lots of people out there with MND. Many of them don’t have the platform that Doddie had, but he had that platform, and he used it. He had an amazing energy and determination to find a solution to this disease and to help others. He’ll keep pushing us on even though he isn’t here.
