Wales icon Jason Bowen speaks out on heart-breaking Motor Neurone Disease diagnosis

Former Cardiff and Swansea footballer Jason Bowen has promised to fight "as much as I possibly can" after being diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease.

Bowen, 50, went public with his devastating diagnosis earlier this month. He has admitted it was "terrible" when he told his wife Hayley and three boys the "heart-breaking" news but has pledged to stay "as positive as I can" throughout his battle with the illness.

MND, which is also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), is a degenerative neurological disease that causes the progressive loss of motor skills. Bowen, who was diagnosed with the disease in March 2021, was given "three to five years" to live.
