The late Doddie Weir’s wife and son joined former England rugby captain Lewis Moody as he set off on a 505-mile fundraising cycling challenge for research into motor neurone disease (MND).

Moody is taking on the challenge to raise money for the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation which was founded by Weir, who died in November 2022 aged 52 after a six-year battle with the disease.
