Former England rugby union captain Lewis Moody has revealed he has been diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND). The 47-year-old admits he is not yet ready to face up to the full implications of the diagnosis, which took the lives of fellow rugby stars Doddie Weir and Rob Burrow.
"There's something about looking the future in the face and not wanting to really process that at the minute," he told the BBC. "It's not that I don't understand where it's going. We understand that. But there is absolutely a reluctance to look the future in the face for now."
