About this episode

<p>It’s been a while since the Logans were on the podcast together, but this week Kenny’s back to talk about the cycling challenge that he has just completed in honour of his former Scotland teammate, Doddie Weir, raising vital funds for research into the disease which claimed his friend’s life. Kenny talks about how moving it was to meet people along the way who are living with Motor Neurone Disease, and how it kept the physical brutality of the challenge in perspective and kept Kenny and the team pushing on - and up those Irish hills! </p><br><p>They discuss how challenges like these take you beyond what you thought was possible, and how powerful a change of mindset can be when overcoming other challenges in midlife. Gabby and Kenny also catch up on all the family news since Christmas, including how they’ve been getting used to an empty nest, Gabby’s feelings about being one of the new <em>Match of the Day </em>presenters, and why Kenny is hiding his pants somewhere in the house!</p><br><p>You can still donate to the Doddie'5 Lions Challenge Ireland<a href="https://uk2.emma-live.com/doddie5lionscycle/individual-giving/1000000012" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> here</a> or get started with your own fundraiser by visiting www.myname5doddie.co.uk/fundraising-support&nbsp;</p><br><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
