Jai Arrow has fought plenty of battles on the footy field but now he's facing the biggest fight of his life - against MND.

The NRL superstar joins us this week for an incredibly honest and moving conversation about his diagnosis and the decision to retire from the game to focus on fighting the disease.

With his wife Berina and daughter Ayla by his side in the studio, Jai opens up about the realities of living with MND - the things that have surprised him most, how it’s changed life as a dad and a husband and why his family are his reason to keep fighting every day.

It’s raw, heartbreaking, inspiring and at times, surprisingly funny.

If you’d like to learn more about MND, access support or help fund the fight, head to www.fightmnd.org.au or www.mndaustralia.org.au

All proceeds from our Two Doting Dads hats during the week of this episode from October 4-11 will go towards MND - you can purchase them here.

Two Doting Dads is a podcast series that follows the parenting escapades of two good mates, Matty J and Ash Wicks. Like all good modern relationships, they met on Instagram and instantly bonded over the fact that they were both sleep-deprived Dads doing their best to dote over their two children. They share a very laid-back style to parenting, they don't pretend to be experts and they celebrate every single parenting mishap (which there are plenty). If you're listening for parenting advice, you've come to the wrong podcast.
