I'm supporting this amazing appeal because I grew up watching the amazing talent and incredible skills that the Leeds Rhinos squad possessed, secretly hoping that we (The Bulls) might at some point tempt the best over to our side. Rob was at the top of my wish list, but his loyalty to Leeds crushed my dreams. 

Watching Rob and his family, with the unwavering support of Kev Sinfield inspired me to give my first marathon a go. I didn’t feel I could say no, will do whatever I can to offer practical help and am proud to support this cause, led by the currently slightly stronger rugby league local rivals.

I’m not looking forward to the chevin at mile 17 for two miles, any pennies would definitely motivate me to get to the top. The last 7 miles will be downhill though, yes?
