England Rugby Star Lewis Moody Opens Up About Motor Neurone Disease Diagnosis

Former England rugby player and World Cup winner, Lewis Moody, revealed his diagnosis with motor neurone disease (MND) during a BBC interview alongside his wife, Annie. Moody described the emotional impact of the diagnosis, noting that despite feeling well, he has observed symptoms like muscle weakness in his hand and shoulder.

The athlete expressed the difficulty of sharing the news with his sons. Motor neurone disease affects the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, leading to muscle wasting and weakness.
