The Rob Burrow Centre for Motor Neurone Disease (MND) was officially opened at Seacroft Hospital, in Leeds, on Monday.
Today the Yorkshire Evening Post had a first look behind the scenes at the new first purpose-built centre dedicated entirely to MND care, research and support.
The centre been made possible thanks to a £6.8 million fundraising campaign, led by Leeds Hospitals Charity and supported by Burrow’s friend and former Leeds Rhinos teammate Kevin Sinfield.
More than 17,000 donors have contributed so far to the centre and patients, their families, clinical specialists and the wider MND community have all been involved in its design.
The building work has been completed less than 18 months after Rob Burrow died in June 2024.
