Former Leeds Rhinos player and dad of three Rob Burrow has been courageously sharing his story of motor neurone disease with the public since he was diagnosed at the age of 37, and he has raised the profile of the condition beyond all expectations.
Since he was diagnosed, Rob has actively campaigned to help raise awareness and raise funds in support of MND charities and having excelled in his sporting career, he now plans to support the creation of a centre of equal standards that will benefit many more people living with this disease.
The new centre will be called The Rob Burrow Centre for Motor Neurone Disease and will be the first in the UK to have its design led by the holistic needs of the patient and their family, creating a supportive environment that complements the expert team providing the care.
