Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon 2023 · 14 May 2023 ·

The Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon will take place on Sunday 14 May 2023 and has been inspired by former Leeds Rhinos captain, Kevin Sinfield OBE, and his fundraising challenges in recent years in support of his friend and team mate Rob Burrow.

Story

I've left it late and that's the training as well as the fundraising, but barring a calamity I will be on the start line of the Rob Burrow Marathon 2023 on May 14th at Headingley stadium.

Rob, a former Leeds Rhinos RL player, was diagnosed with MND in 2019 and since then he and his family have campaigned to raise awareness and money.

The marathon is daunting - it's hilly - but it feels like a small effort compared to what families and sufferers go through every day. 

If you can spare a quid, or just a thought, that would be marvellous.

(We need your support.£120 could provide an overbed table, making it easier for someone with MND to eat, drink and read safely and comfortably in bed£230 could fund the coordination of care for someone with MND at a Care Centre for a year£500 could provide a tablet device with specialist communication software, allowing someone to communicate with loved ones£750 could fund an MND expert researcher for a weekEvery penny raised from The Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon will bring us closer to achieving our ultimate mission; a world free from MND.)
