Family affair as Arkleys raise £34,000 for Doddie Weir’s MND foundation

Stephen Gallacher joined the Arkley family – Susan, Jane and Robert – to hand over a cheque for £34,000 to Doddie Weir for his ongoing crusade to help find a cure for motor neurone disease. The money was raised at two events held at the family’s Kingsfield Golf Centre – a celebrity proam and an annual Katie’s Cup charity tournament. Gallacher played in the “Source Telecom Doddie’5 Tartan Texas Scrumble”, along with fellow European Tour players Richie Ramsay and Marc Warren, as well as rugby duo Chris Paterson and Peter Wright, and footballer Kris Commons. “We’re very proud to champion this with him,” said Robert Arkley in handing over the cheque to rugby legend Weir.
