Currently, my excel sheet is composed of data that are not in long format. enter image description here

I want to cut the data to paste at the bottom of the first 2 columns to get something like this:

enter image description here

I have written some vba code to allow me to do the cutting and pasting. However, the code doesn't seem to exit the Find Loop and continuously finds and cuts. I want to stop finding after all columns after the 1st 2 are cut and pasted to the bottom. What edits can I make to the code to allow the find to escape the loop? Thank you

VBA Code:
Sub FindTextInSheets()
    Dim FirstAddress As String
    Dim myColor As Variant
    Dim rng As Range
    Dim Corp As Range
    Dim rowscount As Variant
    Dim rowsno As Integer
                Set rng = ActiveSheet.Cells.Find(What:="Code", _
                                After:=Range("B1"), _
                                LookIn:=xlValues, _
                                LookAt:=xlWhole, _
                                SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, _
                                SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
                                MatchCase:=False)
                If Not rng Is Nothing Then
                    FirstAddress = rng.Address
                    Do
                        rng.Select
                        Range(Selection, Selection.Offset(0, 1)).Select
                        Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
                        Selection.Cut
                        Range("A1").Select
                        Selection.End(xlDown).Select
                        Selection.Offset(1, 0).Select
                        ActiveSheet.Paste
                        Set rng = ActiveSheet.Cells.FindNext(rng)
                    Loop While Not rng Is Nothing And rng.Address <> FirstAddress
                End If
        
        End Sub

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
Do you want the header row copied with the rest of the data?

Do you want the header row copied with the rest of the data?
Ideally nope, I just want the data from row b onwards to be copied and the header deleted after

Ok, how about
VBA Code:
Sub ipmh()
   Dim i As Long
   
   For i = 3 To Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column Step 2
      Range(Cells(2, i), Cells(Rows.Count, i).End(xlUp)).Resize(, 2).Cut Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1)
   Next i
   Range("C1").Resize(, i + 1).Value = ""
End Sub
