Kenny and Gabby Logan travel in tractor to Doddie Weir MND charity event

Celebrity couple Kenny and Gabby Logan made a striking entrance at a charity gala by arriving in a tartan tractor, raising over £100,000 for motor neurone disease (MND) research. Their journey through Edinburgh in the uniquely designed vehicle honored the late rugby legend Doddie Weir, who was instrumental in MND advocacy before his passing in 2022

.Kenny operated a JCB Fastrac tractor, delighting onlookers as they made their way to the event held at Prestonfield House. Gabby, dressed elegantly, humorously remarked about the absurdity of their arrival, emphasizing the event’s spirit and purpose

.Doddie Weir, diagnosed with MND in 2016, founded the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation in 2017 to support research aimed at finding effective treatments for the disease. His legacy continues to inspire fundraising efforts within the MND community

.During the gala, an auction hosted by former England rugby international Martin Bayfield generated significant funds for the foundation. This event precedes Doddie Aid, a fitness challenge set to commence on January 1, 2025, aimed at further supporting MND research initiatives

.Paul Thompson, fundraising director at the foundation, expressed gratitude for the emotional and successful evening, highlighting its alignment with Doddie’s values and commitment to combating MND

. The community’s support reflects a collective effort to honor Doddie’s memory and work towards a future free from MND.
