🏉 Devastating news shakes the rugby community as former England captain, Lewis Moody, bravely reveals his diagnosis with motor neurone disease (MND). Despite this life-altering announcement, Lewis remains incredibly positive, sharing that he still feels well, even as he begins his fight against the condition.
This Saturday, he will take centre stage at Twickenham, presenting the match ball before England takes on Australia. It’s an emotional moment not just for Lewis, but for everyone who knows and admires him.
With 71 caps for England and three Six Nations titles, Lewis is a Red Rose legend, and his announcement has left friends, family, and fans deeply touched. Fellow World Cup winner Phil Vickery was moved to tears when speaking about his teammate’s bravery.
A GoFundMe page has been set up to support Lewis and his family as he embarks on his treatment journey. The rugby world is rallying together, and everyone is encouraged to donate and show their support.
Despite this challenging time, Lewis plans to channel his energy into charitable work, demonstrating the same strength and dedication he showed on the pitch. And in true Lewis fashion, he even managed to make a joke when ex-England captain Martin Johnson shed tears at his recent talk, quipping it must have been a “dodgy drink.”
Join us in sending love, strength, and support to Lewis, Annie, and their family. Let’s come together to back this incredible individual as he takes on his toughest opponent yet. 💪❤️
