Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Following Rob Burrows diagnosis in 2019, like so many others players, I wanted to do something to help raise funds and awareness.  In June 2020 me and a number of ex players completed a 30 hour watt bike challenge and following the success of this ride and seeing what a difference the funds can make, I wanted to do more.

I first saw Rob as a 13 year old when he was in the age group above me at Featherstone Lions. Whilst he was clearly an exceptional talent, it was often said he would be too small… Watching Rob prove these doubters wrong and achieve such wonderful things over an outstanding career was a constant inspiration to me. 

I hope in completing the marathon I can continue to raise further awareness of the disease and also contribute much needed funds to support MND sufferers and their families through any difficulties they may be facing.
