Kevin Sinfield to begin latest epic Rob Burrow inspired MND …

Rugby League legend Kevin Sinfield OBE will begin his latest epic challenge to raise awareness and funds for motor neurone disease (MND) this week. Sinfield and his team accomplished their third challenge last year[1] by running from Edinburgh to Manchester and covering over 40 miles a day for a week. Since 2020, the team have raised over GBP8 million through endurance events inspired by former Leeds Rhinos teammate Rob Burrow MBE[2].

Rugby legend Kevin will start his incredible '7 in 7 in 7'[3] endurance event this Friday in Leeds. He will run seven ultra marathons (27.2 miles) in seven days in seven cities to raise awareness and money in support of people impacted by MND. His first run will be from Leeds to York on December 1.

The former Leeds Rhino player will start the challenge by running from Headingly Stadium in Leeds and is set to arrive at York Minster at around 4 pm. Kevin said: "It has been a great way of celebrating the MND community and celebrating Rob and showing people we care. The support we have had has been amazing.

"The plan is to run seven marathons, plus an extra mile each day, in seven different cities in the UK and Ireland across seven days.

We are really looking forward to it; there are 100 reasons we shouldn't go again, but there are 5,000 why we should and the big reason is Rob." Local Yorkshire-based company, BusinessWaste.co.uk[5] are proud sponsors of Sinfield's efforts and are calling on businesses to get behind the cause. Every local firm is encouraged to donate and support this fantastic fundraising endeavour.

David Adams Business Waste' Managing Director said: "The effort Kevin Sinfield and his team put into pushing themselves to the upper limit with these gruelling challenges to raise funds that support those living with MND and research into treatments and a cure is incredibly inspiring.

Mark Hall, Business Waste Founder said: "We're really proud to once again get behind such a wonderful awareness and fundraising cause." To support Kevin's cause visit his fundraiser page here: https://donate.giveasyoulive.com/fundraising/kevin-sinfield[6]
