A GROUP of fundraising rugby players passed through Dolgellau earlier today as they aim to raise money for Doddie Weir’s MND charity.

The group are riding their bikes from Murrayfield to the Principality Stadium in Cardiff before the Six Nations Clash between Wales and Scotland on Saturday at 2.15pm.

Covering a total of 500-miles, the riders are on course to raise a massive £25,000 for the charity.

The two-day, 50-hour relay ride, is for popular former Scotland second row giant Doddie Weir’s campaign to raise funds for research into the motor neurone disease which affects him and so many others across the UK.

Pictured are the cycling Cavalcade with some of the Ruthin Rugby Club along with Robert Wainwright, Scottish international, Wainwright with tomorrow’s match ball, which will be delivered before kick-off, along with Mark Beaumont Round the world Endurance Champion and also pupils from Ysgol Bro Idris in Dolgellau.
