Description
7&5 Charity Gin story
Doddie Weir OBE and Rob Burrow MBE are two sporting legends in the world of rugby – union and league. After memorable & successful rugby careers, both Doddie and Rob were diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease. Now they have joined forces to use the passion and positivity that made them rugby greats to raise awareness and help find a cure for this disease together.
7&5 Charity Gin, named after their playing numbers, donates all profits of its bottle sales to a chosen research project which Doddie & Rob feel is underfunded in support of their fight against MND.
It’s been an incredible few months raising awareness for Motor Neuron Disease
- £50 million was granted from the Government for targeted MND research
- My Name’5 Doddie Foundation celebrated their 4th anniversary of the charity, which has committed over £6m to research to date.
- Rob Burrow’s former Leeds Rhinos team-mate Kevin Sinfield raised over £1.5m during The Extra Mile Challenge.
- Kevin Sinfield recently received an OBE from the Duke of Cambridge at an investiture service at Windsor Castle for services to rugby league and charity fundraising.
All the profits from the sales of the 7&5 Charity Gin will go towards MND research.

PLAYING FOR THE SHIRT Apart from the thrill of returning crowds, we have seen a real celebration of rugby skills on show in the first two months of the season. The Premiership, in particular, continued where it left off at the end of last season together with the resurgence of a Leicester team which has embraced its heritage but with a wonderful extra twist of flair, inspired by George […]

The stuff of Sporting Champions When Ireland won at Twickenham in their first match following England’s Rugby World Cup triumph in 2003, we joked that only Ireland could peak the best side in the world after the World Cup had ended! Admittedly the only training that the returning champions had been doing ever since […]

Sporting drama in June – A Rugby Tale of Three Fly Halves and two coaches What a month of sport around the world, where to start? Bairstow’s heroics at Trent Bridge against the world’s No 1 team, New Zealand, was inspired by the legendary Kiwi Brendan McCullum, a delicious irony and so far […]

La Rochelle live the European dream La Rochelle is steeped in history, whether back to the days of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine in the 12th century or indeed to the presence of the Huguenots in the 17th. A thriving but small Maritime port was never supposed to carry off the Blue […]

A week for Sporting Champions and questions of leadership What a week for Champions in two of our major sports – and a prelude for an unprecedented summer of sport after two years of Pandemic-driven abstinence. As a 55-year-long Man City fan, even I was stunned by that comeback. When you know […]

Broken dreams for champions cup semifinalists The brutality of semifinals is that no one remembers the loser. However, for Saracens, Wasps, Toulouse and Racing 92 there were many mitigating circumstances. In two cases, Leinster and Toulon were simply too good and those matches in Dublin and on the Cote Méditerranée will live in the […]

My dad and I have just bought a bottle each – yet to receive them but what a fantastic idea and a wonderful cause. Unfortunately I also have MND – a horrendous disease – but all your efforts to raise awareness are tremendous and I look up to you both. Thank you so much. We can’t wait to try it. Keep smiling…
Alan Martin –
What a great idea….we can all enjoy the drink and at the same time MND Research benefits. I am ordering a bottle and hope many more follow suit.

My husband lived with mnd for 4 years. He unfortunately lost his battle with mnd earlier this year. This Gin is a great idea and has made it easy to buy gifts for people who supported us through this difficult time. The people we have gifted the gin to have been delighted. I am hoping it comes back into stock asap as I want to order more as Christmas gifts. Great stuff.

This is such a wonderful idea. I love reading all the news items ,and feel proud to support a sporting establishment that cares so much for others. I started watching the scarlets play when I was four years old , 59 years ago. My father Len Davies was a very good friend of Dwayne Peels grandfather, whom I met on many occasions , and I have very fond memories of past times at the old Scarlets ground.
Brian Fitzsimmons –
Decided to crack the bottle tonight. The eve of the challenge cup final. Thinking of Rob ( and big Doddie ) remembering how good he was . Stay strong, the gin is beautiful.
