Tindall's Bike Race for Slater's Cause

0:00It's March 28th from Hollywood to your headphones. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News. Today, powered by AI, I'm Cory with the story. Mike Tindall and his old rugby crew are pedaling hard in a charity bike race to support Ed Slater, the former player, battling motor neuron disease. Tindall's taking on Martin Johnson in a straight-up team showdown, all to boost funds for Slater's cause. He kicked off from Gloucester's Kingsome Stadium and Lester's Wellford Road, both gutting straight for Villa Park. That's where the Slater Cup match goes down today between Slater's old clubs, Gloucester and Lester Tigers. This cup honors Slater since his diagnosis back in July 2022, and it's the first time it's hitting a soccer spot like Villa Park. Around 40,000 fans are rolling in, with proceeds feeding the 4ED Foundation he started. The Foundation hooks up folks with M&D, through home upgrades, family outings, and mental health help. They're chasing 100,000 pounds and have pulled in 28,531 so far.
