Event: Extra Mile Challenge, from 26 November 2021 to 31 December 2023
On 22 November 2021 Kevin Sinfield ran 101 miles in 24 hours, proving he'll always go the 'extra mile' for his friend and former teammate Rob Burrow. Will you go the extra mile for people affected by MND?

Story

Former Leeds Rhinos scrum-half Rob Burrow was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in December 2019, just two years after ending his playing career by captaining Leeds to a record-extending eighth Super League Grand Final.
Rob will be the inspiration for our geriatric over 60s group to finish this 200 mile walk
Rob is one of an estimated 5,000 adults in the UK currently living with motor neurone disease. Every day, an average of six people are diagnosed with MND. The MND Association focuses on improving access to care, funding research, and campaigning for those people living with, or affected by, MND.

Will you join in the fight against MND?

A donation from you today will not only help to support families living with MND, like Robs, but will also fund vital research in the search for a cure. With your help, we hope to save other families from the heartache of a motor neurone disease diagnosis in the future.
