🚴🙌 An incredble £127,064 raised for My Name'5 Doddie Foundation! 🚴🙌

It’s been two weeks since The Berry Bikers completed the incredible Doddie Triple Challenge, cycling 750 miles from Melrose in Scotland to Dublin.

After taking some well-earned time to recover, reflect, and even enjoy the Scotland v Ireland match, the team are now home. After an epic week, it’s safe to say that while it was a huge challenge, they loved every minute of it.

We’re delighted to share our final fundraising total. Together, we have raised an incredible £127,064 in support of My Name'5 Doddie Foundation

This would not have been possible without the support of so many people. A very special thank you to each and every one of our sponsors for their generous donations. Thank you also to everyone who donated, encouraged the team along the way, or supported behind the scenes.

We’d also like to recognise everyone who took part in the challenge itself. The effort, energy and commitment across the week set the tone for everything that followed.

A massive well done to The Berry Bikers – Gordon, John, Dave, Imogen, Rosie, Mark and Douglas – along with their incredible support team - Fiona, Lawrence, Shona and Claire.

While this marks the close of our Doddie Triple Challenge, the impact of what’s been raised will continue through vital research and support for those affected by MND.

We hope to be back taking on the challenge again next year and will keep you posted. Thank you for being part of it.

John, Gordon, Dave, Imogen, Mark, Rosie and Douglas arrived in Dublin last night for the finale of the Doddie Triple Challenge, having cycled from Melrose, Scotland, through England and Wales and across to Ireland, reaching their destination in just four days. An incredible achievement and nothing short of amazing.

A massive shout out to their incredible support team, Fiona, Claire, Lawrence and Shona, who have been there every pedal of the way, keeping everyone on track and looking after the team.

Thank you to all our sponsors for supporting us throughout our training and the event, and to every single person who has donated. This is a cause very close to our hearts and every penny donated means the world to us.

If you have not donated yet and would like to support the challenge, please do so here:

Every penny goes to the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, funding vital research, driving progress towards a cure and supporting families living with MND.

The team are now relaxing in Dublin before heading to the Aviva Stadium to see the ball being delivered, enjoy the Scotland v Ireland game, and celebrate their incredible achievement over the past few days.

Please join us in congratulating the whole team! 👏

13/03/2026

The Berry Bikers are almost in Ireland. After some weather-related delays, they will now be setting off from around 5pm, aiming to reach Dublin at around 8pm. We will share a full round-up of the day and the grand finale with you soon.

With a bit of rare downtime during the crossing from Wales, the Marketing Department spotted a trending reel and decided to set the team a challenge… because who doesn’t love a bit of fun on a Friday?

Do you think Dave delivered? 😄

If you have not donated yet and would like to support the challenge, please do so here. We think this dance-off definitely deserves an extra donation or two.

It’s Day 3 of the Doddie Triple Challenge and the toughest day of the week so far. But nothing has fazed our Berry Bikers. Despite rain, wind and a few bike malfunctions along the way, spirits have stayed high and the smiles have never left their faces. They just keep on pedalling.

Last night the team arrived safely in Gloucester, where they were warmly welcomed by colleagues from our Salford Priors site. Earlier along the route they were also greeted by a piper, a brilliant and unexpected moment that lifted spirits and reminded everyone just how far they have come.

After a well earned rest, they joined the other riders this morning for a group photo at the iconic home of Gloucester Rugby, Kingsholm Rugby Stadium, before setting off again towards Pembroke, Wales. From there they will board the overnight ferry to Ireland for the next leg of their incredible journey.

Thankfully the bike issues were short lived and everyone is now safely back on the road. A big shout out to Ben at Benchmark Bikes for fixing Imogen’s bike.

You can continue to follow their epic journey here:

A BIG Angus welcome in Gloucester last night for our Berry Bikers 🚴‍♂️🍓

As they arrived in the city, they were greeted by familiar faces, cheers and banners from our fantastic Salford Priors team. The support meant a great deal to the riders as they continue their journey.

Day 3 is now well under way and we will be sharing more updates on their progress soon.

It’s Day 2 of the Doddie Triple Challenge and our Berry Bikers are still smiling and enjoying every minute of it. Despite some rain and continued headwinds today, there has been some sunshine and rainbows too.

Last night the team reached Leeds and, after a well-earned night of refuelling and rest, they were up with the birds and back on their bikes heading for Gloucester. Another 180 miles in the bag.

News hot off the press. Two of our cyclists are leading the way and were the first to arrive at Bridgnorth RFC. If you are down that way, give them a cheer!

A special shout out to Tom and Lauren Truelove from 3 Acres Inn & Restaurant for their kindness while we are on the road and for their generous donation. Your support means a lot to the team.

The Berry Bikers are well on their way in the Doddie Triple Challenge.

Setting off this morning from Melrose, John, Gordon, David, Imogen, Rosie, Douglas and Mark have been tackling sections of the route throughout the day. Despite strong headwinds for much of the journey, the team are feeling upbeat and enjoying every minute.

What an incredible group.

And of course, we cannot forget their fantastic support crew. Fiona, Shona, Claire and Lawrence are keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes.
