Thank you for the love and support this week🙏❤️

A brave, dignified man. I understand. Diagnosed with Parkinson's and Lewy Body Dementia in May. Not sure how long I've got. I'm just living for the day.

Stay strong, Lewis. My BIL was told 6 years back that he had 6 months to live with amyloydosis. He's still here, weaker but still mobile. Medicine advances so fast nowadays that you don't know what miracle drug is around the corner. Respect from Ireland.

I honestly don't think if I had just been diagnosed with MND my first thought would be how I could help others so fair play to you, you're a better than me.

Wishing you and your family live and strength. My husband is an MND warrior so we get it. It’s a horrible diagnosis but you have so much love coming your way and I hope you get the support you need. With love to you all 🙏🧡💙🧡💙

Don't forget Lewis. Your definitely not on your own. My group mnd and beyond on Facebook will always be there for you family and firends.. We are a careing open group of over 1300 suffers and partners and carers and experts giveing each other advice. ❤️🙏❤️

Sending my very best regards sir, to you and your family. You’re not on your own, and we’re all behind you Lewis. 💂🏻‍♀️👋🏻🇬🇧🏉

There is hope @LewisMoody7. As a person newly diagnosed with MND, you could benefit from an enhanced stem cell therapy called NurOwn. You can contact attorney & fellow rugby player, with ALS @NicholasWarack to learn more. You can read a 309 page Citizen's Petition where people in the trial have asked the FDA to approve the stem cell therapy based on new and unprecedented survival data showing people on NurOwn have added YEARS to their lifespan with just a few doses. Nick was the lead author of the Citizens' Petition. Here is his story and that of a fellow Navy aviator - both with ALS. Mayo trial investigator, Anthony Windebank testified at the FDA Advisory Committee Meeting that NurOwn helped some people with ALS halt the lethal progression and -- if early in disease progression like you -- that some people regained function: “I would now like to provide my clinical perspective on NurOwn …. I think this data is compelling & it should be approved…. While it is clear that not everyone responds to the treatment, there are clearly a SIGNIFICANT NUMBER who do. I have clearly seen SOME PEOPLE STABILIZE in in a way that I have NEVER SEEN in any other trial. In fact, in the small number of people who participated in EAP & received 6-9 treatments, there were people who STABILIZED while on NurOwn in the trial. In the interval before they were in the EAP -- which was over a year or more in some cases – these participants deteriorated, then again STABILIZED in the additional treatment period. There were SOME WHO IMPROVED THEIR SCORE ... SOMETHING RARELY SEEN! .... For these reasons, as a physician who cares for patients, I want to see NurOwn made available for people living with ALS. THE PATIENTS CAN’T WAIT ” Other treating neurologists like @DGeeEss1 also told the FDA that NurOwn works. NurOwn was developed in Israel by Eldad Melamed, a renowned Parkinson's neurologist. People in the trial also testified that NurOwn helped them regain function and we now know it also helped them le much longer than median trach-free survival. Ask pro football player Eric Stevens of @stevens_nation who was diagnosed at 28; ask @KandySimons about her 21 yr old son Kade; ask @klink52 about her 32 yr old son Matt; ask @BellinaDeb about her 28 y old son Matt. ALL ATHLETES diagnosed with ALS at young ages. NurOwn helped all of them and so many more!

Nobody can understand fully what you and your family are going through with the news you have received, all I can say it keep positive, stay strong and hopefully there is a breakthrough in medical science soon for this horrible disease. ♥️ ♥️

🙏🏾 Thank you soo much for sharing. Sending you positive healing vibes.

Fuck me mad dog , what a hero you are , gutted for you , be strong 💪

You’re a star mate , we know your a fighter Good on you 💚🤞👍

Take your time Lewis. The early days are challenging. I like your approach of not thinking about the future. That’s exactly my approach since I was diagnosed 11 years ago. No one knows tomorrow. No one. Best wishes Lee

Eh Lewis, this Springbok fan [who watched you play over the years] is sending you and your family good vibes from across the ocean 🇨🇦--------> 🇬🇧 ! Wishing you well as you guys come to terms with the diagnosis & plot the path forward! Sure new doors 🚪 will open in the process!

You were an inspirational fighter on the pitch Lewis but the manner in which you are dealing with this terrible news is far more inspirational. Much love to you and your family. ❤️

You were so strong in that red rose shirt, you'll be equally as strong for this fight. Thinking of you and your family Lewis, keep fighting and stay positive, you're already an inspiration

You were a true fighter on the pitch and certain you will fight this horrible disease as much as you can and for as long as you can. Thinking of you and your family - stay strong

Had the pleasure of meeting you on a train to Bath about 10 years ago or something! You had been to Lords with a few of the Bath players and you sat next to me and you passed me a beer! A true gentleman and a warrior in the sport. Good luck mate, see you round town.. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Lots of love to you all, Lewis. I really hope your story helps pressure the govt for more research into MND. 🙏

Wishing you as well as possible for as long as possible Lewis 🙏💙📿
