Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my just giving page.

I have been inspired by the relationship between Rob Burrow and Kevin Sinfield and of course the fundraising and awareness Kevin continues to do in Rob's name and on his behalf, but also for the wider MND community. I was fortunate enough to see Rob play in his prime and meet him on a number of occasions, a more humble and genuine person you could not wish to meet, he had time for everyone, including a Huddersfield fan like me. It makes me sad to see him living with the condition he is now, and to think that others do so too. So, I am doing my own version of Kevin's 7 in 7 challenge. 7 half marathons in 7 consecutive weekends starting on 27th March with my running club organising a local run in Leicestershire for people to donate and join and finishing on 8th May in Leeds. This might not sound a lot as it isn't 7 marathons, but physically I am not designed as a long distance runner and have suffered knee injuries as a result of my own rugby union playing days. But I have been so inspired by these 2 men I want to play a part however, small in doing something to try and prevent more people suffering in the way Rob and Doddie Weir and others are now.
