Lewis Moody picking up baton' left by Doddie Weir with MND fundraising cycle ride
"I'm really proud to be aligning my name with Doddie, who was a force of nature as a character. I feel like in many ways I'm being brought off the bench to take that baton forward and to try and get this job done."
"When I speak to specialists there's a lot of hope and developments in fighting this disease. I don't know if that would have been the case when those guys were diagnosed."
Lewis Moody announced a 500-mile cycling challenge to raise funds for motor neurone disease, supported by fellow 2003 World Cup winners and his sons. The journey will start in Newcastle and end at Twickenham, with proceeds benefiting the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation. Moody, diagnosed with MND, aims to honor Doddie Weir's legacy and contribute to ongoing research. The foundation has raised over £23.5 million for MND research, and Moody expresses hope for advancements in treatment during his efforts.
