The Lewis Moody XV Cycle Challenge, supported by Gallagher, began at Newcastle Red Bulls—home to the late Doddie Weir—and will conclude at Twickenham’s Allianz Stadium in just seven days. Moody, who revealed his own MND diagnosis last year, is joined by family, friends, and some of rugby’s biggest names, including Rugby World Cup winners Martin Johnson, Jonny Wilkinson, and Jason Robinson, as well as former England stars Martin Corry, Tom Croft, Ben Kay, Joe Worsley, and Ben Youngs.
