Story

On June 2nd, 2024, we lost a true hero, Rob Burrow, who fought valiantly against MND. His diagnosis sparked a remarkable journey of resilience and determination, during which he, his family, Kevin Sinfield, and many others rallied to raise significant funds to combat this devastating disease.

As an ardent fan of rugby league and St Helens, I’ve witnessed Rob Burrow’s prowess on the field time and again. Despite standing at a modest 5’5", the same as me, he played with the heart and spirit of a giant. His performances were awe-inspiring, leaving an indelible impact on me and countless others.

In honour of Rob’s legacy, I am organising a company-wide Fantasy Football League, given the sport’s widespread popularity. I invite everyone to participate and kindly request a nominal donation of £5 towards the Rob Burrow MND charity. This small contribution can make a big difference in the ongoing fight against this disease. Let’s come together to honour Rob’s memory and continue his battle.
