The Pineapple Press at Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon · 14 May 2023

The Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon will take place on Sunday 14 May 2023 and has been inspired by former Leeds Rhinos captain, Kevin Sinfield OBE, and his fundraising challenges in recent years in support of his friend and team mate Rob Burrow.

Story

*New stretch Target now added, £850. Choose Pineapple Haze 'Haze' to see me add an off road run in July, the Hazelbury Hurrah or Pineapple Punch, an attempt to get another costume character to warm up with me with shadow boxing moves*

I'm running the Rob Burrow Marathon in Leeds, just a week after the Thames Path 100 mile race. If that doesn't sound hard enough, here are my juice-press pushed up targets. Reach £100 and I will run it dressed as a pineapple. Reach £150 for 50 juicy press pineapple press ups along the route. Pass £200 and I'll do 100 press ups along the way.

The marathon event celebrates the campaigns for MND by Kevin Sinfield and MND sufferer Rob Burrow. It finishes in Headingly stadium a holy grail destination for fans of Rugby League.

*Stretch Target - Pineapple Rings* The £200 target has been passed thanks to some wonderful generosity. The stretch target is £350, 'Pineapple Rings'. based on donator Chris Oakley's suggestion inspired by Louie Spence's Pineapple Dance Studio. So, I will dance or pirouette a ring at every mile marker if we reach this target. Anybody who has seen me after a 100 mile race knows how challenging this will be.

The MND Association focus on improving access to care, research and campaigning for those people living with or affected by MND in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. By sponsoring me your money will help people affected by Motor Neurone Disease. Once you donate, JustGiving will send your money directly to the MND Association. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and secure, your details are safe - they'll never sell them or send unwanted emails. Thank you again
