The Challenge Begins

Jan 19, 2026

With just a few weeks before the challenge begins Anthony explains why he is taking on an extraordinary personal challenge during this year’s Six Nations. Inspired by the courage shown by Lewis Moody since receiving the devastating news of his MND diagnosis, Anthony has created a unique fundraising effort to support both The BR Foundation and The Lewis Moody Foundation.

Over the course of the tournament, Anthony will run six separate 10K races, one in each of the six host nations, combining his love of rugby with a powerful and worthwhile cause. Anthony is aiming to raise an incredible £10,000, with supporters able to donate and win rugby themed prizes along the way.
