Co-founders Stuart and Scott McGachan lost their father to Motor Neuron Disease (MND) late 2023, just days before the first Beatles Marathon UK. You can read the full story here.
We are therefore proud to support the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, a cause that is very personal to all of us involved with The Beatles Marathon UK.
So it only made sense to support the Foundation – they are a lifeline for those diagnosed or suffering with MND, which affects the motor neurons of the nervous system. It is a life shortening disease, and usually progresses rapidly.
The Foundation was established by Doddie Weir OBE, the iconic Scottish Rugby Union player who was diagnosed with MND in December 2016. He became a fierce campaigner for research into the disease, establishing the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, which is as strong as ever today.
We are proud to support the brilliant work of the Foundation.
