Kevin Sinfield has expressed his commitment to “support in any way possible” after learning of the diagnosis of motor neuron disease (MND) of former England rugby captain Lewis Moody.
Sinfield, who has led significant efforts in the fight against MND, has raised over £10 million for research and awareness of this disease since his friend and teammate at Leeds Rhinos, Rob Burrow, was diagnosed in 2019.
Burrow passed away at 41 years old last June, due to complications related to the disease.Lewis Moody durante su carrera como capitán de Inglaterra.Sinfield, currently the coach of the England rugby team, told the PA news agency: “I am obviously very saddened by the news.
