Kevin Sinfield says he will ‘support in any way he can’ after Lewis Moody revealed he has been diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease.
The rugby union icon and former England captain confirmed that he was diagnosed two weeks ago, announcing the news to the world on Monday.
In an emotional interview, the 47-year-old sat alongside his wife and spoke of facing the reality of the disease, for which there is no cure.
Fellow rugby icons Rob Burrow and Doddie Weir are other high profile people who suffered with MND, with Sinfield a prominent campaigner for research into the disease due to his teammate and friend Burrow being struck down by it.
Sinfield, who coaches the England rugby union team, but still takes on incredible endurance tests for charity, says he will support Moody and his family
