Kevin Sinfield pushed his friend around the entire 26.2-mile marathon in a specially adapted wheelchair before lifting him across the finish line as the crowd cheered.
An emotional Kevin Sinfield carried his friend and former rugby teammate Rob Burrow over the finish line at the Leeds Marathon.
A former rugby league player and current coach for England, Sinfield has raised more than £8m for MND charities, including an Ultra 7 in 7 Challenge in November when he ran seven back-to-back ultra-marathons. As the pair finished the race on Sunday, Sinfield gave Burrow a kiss of affection after joining 12,500 other runners in Leeds' first marathon in 20 years.
