HEARTBREAKING NEWS: BBC Breakfast Cuts Live Broadcast to Share HEARTBREAKING UPDATE on Lewis Moody
BBC Breakfast guest issues Lewis Moody update after heartbreaking MND diagnosis
A BBC Breakfast guest has issued an update on Lewis Moody after his heartbreaking MND diagnosis.
The 47-year-old former England rugby captain revealed in September that he had been diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease.
Since then, more than £200,000 has been raised on a GoFundMe page set up by Lewis’s friends and former Leicester Tigers teammeates Geordan Murphy and Leon Lloyd.
Rugby League legend Kevin Sinfield, who has raised over £10 million for those impacted by MND, appeared on BBC Breakfast on Monday (November 24), where he shared an update on Lewis with hosts Sally Nugent and Jon Kay.
“I’ve been in touch with him. I think people who are diagnosed will take strength from Doddie [Weir], from Rob [Burrow], from Sid Lawrence, from Stephen Darby, from Marcus Stewart – I can keep reeling some of those champions who have fought so bravely against MND,” Kevin shared.
“Lewis will take strength from that, but will also pick the baton up. He’s won a World Cup, he’s undertaken loads of different challenges.”
