Rob Burrow, a former rugby star who was widely praised for his fundraising campaigns after being diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease in 2019, has died. He was 41.
In a personally signed message Sunday on X, Britain's Prince William said: “He taught us, ‘in a world full of adversity, we must dare to dream.’ Catherine and I send our love to Lindsey, Jackson, Maya and Macy.” Burrow was a key figure for Leeds during a trophy-laden spell where they claimed World Club Challenge glory in 2005, 2008 and again in 2012 alongside two Challenge Cups.
He went on to feature in an award-winning BBC documentary, “Rob Burrow — My Year with MND,” which provided a look behind the curtain of his illness and the impact on his wife Lindsey alongside his three children.
