In a recent address at the National Press Club, former rugby league star Wally Lewis, known as 'The King,' highlighted the importance of funding support services and education on chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in Australia. The 64-year-old Lewis, who represented Queensland and Australia in the 1980s, revealed that he is living with probable CTE, a form of dementia linked to repetitive head injuries.
During his speech, Lewis shared his personal struggles with fear and anxiety, emphasizing the need for increased awareness of CTE and concussion prevention programs. He expressed concerns about memory loss and the impact on his daily life, urging the government to allocate resources to address these issues.
