Lewis Moody statement

06 October 2025

We are shocked and saddened to learn of Lewis Moody’s diagnosis with motor neuron disease (MND). Everyone at My Name’5 Doddie Foundation sends their full support to Lewis, his wife Annie, and their children as they begin to navigate life with the condition.

Lewis has been an inspirational figure in rugby and beyond, and we know that the strength, courage and leadership he showed throughout his career will continue to inspire others as he faces MND head-on.

Our thoughts are also with the wider rugby community, as they deal with today’s news.

If anyone is concerned about MND, or would like to learn more about the condition, read more on our website or contact us at info@myname5doddie.co.uk
