Former England captain Lewis Moody is undertaking a 500-mile charity cycle challenge to raise funds for motor neurone disease (MND) research. Moody was diagnosed with MND last year and says the effort reflects a “sense of carrying the baton forward.” Multiple outlets report that Doddie Weir’s wife and son will join Moody for part of the ride, linking the family’s support with the campaign. The challenge is described as the “Lewis Moody XV Cycle Challenge.” Sources add that the ride is planned to culminate at Twickenham, timed ahead of the Gallagher Premiership Rugby final. One outlet reports that the campaign has raised £235,000 so far, indicating continued fundraising momentum. Overall, the articles present the event as a charity effort led by Moody and supported by the Weir family, with the route ending at the RFU’s home venue to help generate attention and donations for MND research.
