Former Leicester Tigers captain Ed Slater completes a 350-mile charity ride after being diagnosed with motor neurone disease
Former Gloucester lock forward Ed Slater said he "had a little cry" as he completed a 350-mile cycle ride.He completed the three-day ride, which started and finished at Gloucester's Kingsholm Stadium, alongside former team-mates.
"We arranged it so quickly I didn't have a chance to grasp how difficult a challenge it was going to be," he added, saying fellow Gloucester player Billy Twelvetrees dragged him up some "really dark hills".
The second-rower's career began in Australia, playing with the Eastern Suburbs. He was called up to the England Saxons squad in 2012 and captained them to victory over the Crusaders in New Zealand two years later.In an interview with BBC Breakfast, Slater said he had been experiencing symptoms for 11 months prior to his diagnosis and now does not look too far into the future.
