Leeds Rhinos legend Kevin Sinfield completed his final of seven marathons in seven days on Monday, December 7.

Sinfiield took on the challenge in support of former teammate Rob Burrow, who was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) in 2019.

MND is a condition that affects the brain and nerves. It causes weakness that gets worse over time.

Burrow, who won seven Super League Grand Finals alongside Sinfield as part of their Golden Generation, was diagnosed with the debilitating, fatal disease 12 months ago.

Although the 38-year-old’s health has deteriorated since and he is now largely using a wheelchair and a voice recording device to speak, he has lost none of his spirit and humour.

Since his diagnosis, Burrow has raised awareness about the condition and appeared in a BBC Two documentary “Rob Burrow: My Year With MND”.
