Former rugby league star Kevin Sinfield is running seven ultramarathons in seven days to raise awareness and money for the MND community.
Speaking to Sky News, the former England and Leeds Rhinos captain said is doing this in honour of his friend Rob Burrow, who died last year from the disease.
“Rob fought so bravely and so courageously against the disease,” he says. “To see the devastation MND does and lack of funding it received for decades, we need to try and help these people.”
He adds that “we have to make sure we have to find a cure and look after them when they’re on that journey”.
