Rugby Legend Faces Biggest Challenge of His Life >HIV
The Inspiring Moment Gareth Thomas Faced Two of The Biggest Challenges of His Life
Welsh Rugby Legend Gareth Thomas Faces His Hardest Challenge Yet.
BBC •16 Dec 2019
He represented Wales in both rugby union and rugby league. With 100 test match appearances he was the most capped Welsh rugby union player until he was overtaken by Stephen Jones in September 2011.
The night before his Iron Man race: a 2.4 mile swim, a 112 mile bicycle ride and a marathon run, he reveals he is HIV positive to the world.
Gareth Thomas lifts the lid on living with HIV. In an emotional and hard-hitting documentary he finally goes public about his condition and reveals how hiding the truth about his health left him feeling depressed and contemplating taking his own life.
Now he is on a journey to change perceptions about HIV by raising awareness, fighting prejudice and taking on the biggest physical challenge of his career -
running the world’s toughest Iron Man.
