Walking for Lewis. Fighting MND.

This challenge is for Lewis Moody, an England Rugby legend, captain, British Lion, and a player who embodied everything that’s best about rugby: teamwork, courage, respect, and relentless commitment.

Community

Lewis’s recent diagnosis with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a stark reminder of how this devastating illness continues to affect too many within our sporting family.

Inspirational Fight

Following in the tragic footsteps of Doddie Weir, Rob Burrow, Ed Slater, and others who’ve inspired the rugby world with their fight, we are driven to contribute to the search for a cure.

Rugby Values

As former players, we saw first-hand what MND can do. This walk is powered by a shared belief in rugby’s enduring values and the community it builds.

A former representative rugby player for the RAF, England Fire Service and several National League Rugby Clubs. Being present numerous times to watch Lewis play for both club and country, I felt compelled to help increase awareness and much needed funds for MND.

I played representative and national league rugby under Paul “The Judge” Rendall, and after losing both him and my friend and Wattbike CFO’s wife to MND, this cause feels deeply personal. I’m determined to help raise awareness and vital funds for MND research.
