Sir Kevin Sinfield has completed his final endurance challenge, raising over £13 million for motor neurone disease (MND) causes in memory of his friend Rob Burrow. Sinfield finished seven ultramarathons in seven days, concluding at Old Trafford Stadium ahead of the Super League Grand Final. The fundraiser visited all 12 Super League clubs, starting in Hull on September 27.
He was joined by Prince William, Catherine, and sports figures like Sir Gareth Southgate and Josh Warrington. Funds support the MND Association, Leeds Hospitals Charity, My Name5 Doddie Foundation, Darby Rimmer Foundation, MND Scotland, and the Irish MND Association. Sinfield, a former Leeds Rhinos star, and Burrow won seven titles together.
Burrow's wife, Lindsey, said he would be proud. Sinfield's son, Jack, played for Wakefield Trinity in the Grand Final.
