About this listen

In the five years since Doddie Weir's MND diagnosis, he has continued to live life to the max. He's raised millions for research and support for his fellow sufferers with the help of some incredible charity fundraisers, celebrated his 50th birthday and been awarded an OBE. And throughout it all, Doddie has tackled life head on, like the mad charging giraffe he has always been, both on and off the rugby pitch.

Now, join Doddie as he lifts the lid on what his life with MND has really been like, both in public and in private. Being Doddie, there's always lots of laughter and an incredibly positive attitude, but it's also a rollercoaster of emotions. It's a battle Doddie will continue to tackle with his trademark dignity and legendary humour. And it's a fight he remains determined to win.

Critic reviews

"I never set out to take the lead. It just happened—like MND itself. But we are making a fight of it. (Doddie Weir)
All stars

Finishing the last couple of chapters of this inspirational and informative journal the day after Doddie’s sad passing. His story is told in this book with an incredible amount of humour and overwhelmingly positive outlook on life. Cotter’s performance as Narrator is impeccable. Rest Easy the ‘mad giraffe”
