Author Bio

Rob Burrow MBE played Rugby League for nearly 20 years for Leeds Rhinos, England and Great Britain winning every possible honour in the sport. From the earliest part of his career, Rob always defied the odds as the shortest player in a sport full of giants and instantly became everyone's favourite player when he danced rings around huge defenders to score spectacular tries. In December 2019, Rob was diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND) and since then has applied the same determined attitude to his fight against MND and for those impacted by the disease. Kevin Sinfield OBE is one of the most successful Rugby League players of all time for club and country, playing over 500 games in his career and winning every trophy available to him. One of the youngest-ever captains in the history of Leeds Rhinos when he was first appointed, his name is a short cut for leadership and inspiration to all who know him. After his playing career, he has gone on to enjoy a successful coaching career in Rugby Union with Leicester and now England but it his epic fundraising challenges for the MND community that have gained him national recognition, raising nearly 10 million in three years, inspired by his great friend Rob Burrow.
