Doddie Aid 2024

Introduction:

Well, Doddie Aid 2024 is now well underway and it is set to be one of the best yet! 

An amazing initiative by former Scotland captain and British & Irish Lion, Rob Wainwright, Doddie Aid is a virtual mass-participation exercise event that lasts for 5 weeks from 1 January 2024 and all forms of exercise counts and can be logged, such as any walking you've done.

In the spirit of giving and making a meaningful impact, Oak & Black were thrilled to announce our official partnership with the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation last year, and this collaboration is not just about creating beautiful products; it's about supporting a cause that resonates with our values and the global community.
