A team has cycled from Edinburgh to Paris ahead of the crunch Scotland v Ireland Rugby World Cup clash.
The son of the late Doddie Weir will join sporting legend Kenny Logan to present the match ball for Scotland’s crunch rugby match in France following a 700-mile fundraising endurance challenge.
The foundation, which funds research into motor neurone disease , was launched in 2017 by Weir, who died last November aged 52 after living with MND for six years. “His family, and the foundation he set up, are the embodiment of that legacy, and it will be the biggest honour to walk out with Hamish in memory of Doddie – a truly great friend, and a great man.”Kenny Logan’s Rugby World Cup Challenge has involved stars including his TV presenter wife Gabby, football legend Ally McCoist, actors Jimmy Nesbitt and Jamie Bamber, TV presenter Kirsty Gallacher, and adventurer Jason Fox.
On Thursday, a reception was held at Brighton College, with Logan and the team piped through the gates before he gave a speech dedicated to Weir.
