Following inspiration from Kevin Sinfield’s “Ultra 7 in 7” and the recent sad news of the passing of Doddie Weir, I have decided to take on the challenge of attempting to run 70kms in 7 days.

I will be raising money for MND https://www.mndassociation.org/ as many rugby league and rugby union players seem to be affected by this cruel disease.

I will be starting a JustGiving page and if anyone wants to join me on any of my 10km runs, you are more than welcome.

Maybe you could challenge yourself too, or run 1km at the start of every training session, and we can add everyone’s total together. Many people, not just rugby players, have been affected by this disease and there is no cure at the moment. Kevin Sinfield challenged himself and I want to do the same.
