Former England Rugby Captain Lewis Moody Faces Motor Neurone Disease Battle
Lewis Moody, the former England rugby captain and 2003 World Cup winner, has been diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND), a progressive and incurable muscle-wasting illness. Known for his fearless and relentless playing style, Moody now faces the greatest challenge of his life with the support of family and friends, including former teammates Geordan Murphy and Leon Lloyd, who have launched a GoFundMe campaign to aid his care and support his family. Despite the diagnosis, Moody remains resilient and determined to live life to the fullest, with his former teammates and the rugby community rallying behind him. The Rugby Football Union publicly expressed support, recognizing Moody's significant contributions to the sport. The fight against MND has gained increased awareness following the public battles of fellow rugby players Rob Burrow and Doddie Weir, inspiring efforts such as the establishment of a specialist MND center in Leeds. Moody's openness and the backing of his rugby peers underscore both the personal and communal impact of the disease and the ongoing struggle to raise awareness and funds for research and care.
