We're sure Leeds will give Kevin Sinfield a warm welcome today!
Former Leeds Rhinos captain and rugby legend Kevin Sinfield is taking part in an ultra marathon to raise money for Motor Neurone Disease awareness. Kevin's close friend and teammate Rob Burrow revealed he was diagnosed with MND in December 2019.
He began on November 13 and is aiming to reach Old Trafford for the halftime whistle at the Rugby League World Cup men's final on Saturday, November 19. "And that’s why I’m doing it. Inspired by Rob Burrow, Doddie Weir, Stephen Darby and other people living with MND, the money raised will support the fight against MND.
"The MND Association will receive 41% of the money raised to be spent on research projects to take us closer to a world free from MND."
