Malts for MND: 300 Miles, One Team and a Cause That Matters

Malts for MND: 300 Miles, One Team and a Cause That Matters

Mar 04, 2026

Our Founder & Managing Director, Kirsty McKerrow, is part of Team Miles for MND, six women in their 50s who will be running and cycling 300 miles across Ireland (10th–13th March) as part of Doddie’s Triple Crown 2026. They’re raising vital funds for the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation, supporting research to help find a cure for Motor Neurone Disease.

Kirsty in training!

Kirsty is taking on the challenge with friends Henny, Fiona, Charlotte, Tash and Polly. She said: “Three hundred miles feels daunting but it’s nothing compared to what families affected by MND face every day. If we can push ourselves well outside our comfort zone and raise meaningful funds in the process, then it’s absolutely worth it.”

Tash and Polly training!

Kirsty sums it up, saying: “There will be blisters and almost certainly moments of regret. But there will also be laughter, friendship and a shared determination to do something meaningful. If our whisky education community can help us turn miles into research funding, that would mean the world.”

Whether you buy one ticket or several, you’re part of something bigger. And from all of us at Edinburgh Whisky Academy, we thank you for supporting Team Miles for MND.
