Ben Nevis is Britain's highest mountain at 1,345m (4,413 ft). It took Mr Dooher 16 and a Half Hours to complete his walk.
Mr Dooher said: " It feels amazing to be Finished - Very sore and tiring - But amazing.
" I'd be lying if I said it wasn't tougher than expected, But this wasn't meant to be easy, and there was no greater motivator than who I'm doing this for: Doddie's memory and everyone affected by MND. "
The 37-year-old completed several mountain climbs to prepare for The Challenge .
He carried a 95kg (209lb) weight up Ben Vorlich and 75kg (165lb) up Ben Lomond .
Paul Thompson , director of fundraising at My Name'5 Doddie Foundation, said: " We Are Blown Away by David's efforts. His training alone is unthinkable. "
