My story
I was very fortunate to be one of the beneficiaries of the SRU’s retrospective cap initiative earlier this year and this has got me thinking that I would like to give something back, as a thank you for being included in this process but also as a token of appreciation for everything that rugby has given me over many years.
I am going to try and visit every rugby club/pitch in Scotland on which I played during a career that spanned 30 seasons of league rugby. Some of the grounds don't exist anymore and maybe some of the clubs have disappeared, but by my reckoning there are still 76 places to visit!!
I intend to travel to all these clubs - from one to another in a clockwise direction, starting and ending at Netherdale, Galashiels – a journey of just over 1000 miles – by bike!
This will take me well out of my comfort zone in three ways: I am no longer a spring chicken, I cast a larger shadow than is necessary and I haven’t ever really done any meaningful cycling, but it’s too far to run and to go by motorised transport wouldn’t be much of a challenge!!
Thank you for checking out my page. Making a donation is fast, easy and secure thanks to Give as you Live Donate. They'll take your donation and pass it onto Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland, My Name'5 Doddie Foundation, Murrayfield Injured Players Foundation (Scotland) and Prostate Scotland.

Pat, Richard, Joanna and family are extremely sad to inform you that Ken passed away on Sunday 27th October.
This is a huge shock to us all, especially after he concluded his incredible charity cycle on Saturday 26th. We're so proud of him but overwhelmed by his loss at the same time.
Ken's first response to receiving his retrospective cap was to use it as a platform to give back - we are so in awe of all he has achieved.
We're taking some time to make arrangement for a funeral and will share info about this in due course.
Please continue to donate and continue his good work.
Going forward, any updates on this page and his Instagram will be made by Ken's family.
With a heavy heart,
Pat, Richard and Joanna

Sorry, folks, for the rather brief update last night but things were pretty hectic when I arrived at Netherdale for the conclusion of my adventure!
It was a long cycle yesterday, over 70 miles, most of it in to a headwind but it was also another day of warm welcomes and great company - at one stage there were 14 of us on the road and we also were being escorted by the Doddie Tractor for part of the way!
I will update further with proper thanks and acknowledgements but in the meantime please keep spreading the word - there’s still plenty of time to donate. Thank you.
