Rugby star Ed Slater has been diagnosed with motor neurone disease at the age of just 33, ending his playing career.
The young athlete played for the England Saxons international team before his diagnosis, which has led to an outpouring of support from the rugby community.
His current team, Gloucester, say they are grateful for the support already provided by the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, which was set up by former Scottish international Doddie Weir, who revealed he was suffering from motor neurone disease in 2017.
