I though that my marathon running days were behind me until I got the opportunity to take part in the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon. It will be a privilege to be part of the event and to fundraise for Leeds Hospital Charity.

Following his MND diagnosis Rob and his friends and family worked tirelessly to raise awareness of MND and to establish a dedicated centre for those living with MND (and their families).

“My vision is that people diagnosed with MND hear the news in a calming and tranquil sanctuary. I envisage a beautiful, welcoming building that is user and family friendly. A place where patients feel comfortable to bring family members into a safe and homely environment for them, with signs of hope and optimism.”

When playing for Leeds Rhinos Rob's shirt number was 7. My target is £777 and I'd be very grateful for any donations to help me achieve my goal.

By donating to, you can help us create The Rob Burrow Centre for Motor Neurone Disease in Leeds, which will see all MND services housed under one roof for the first time.
