Kevin Sinfield, a legendary figure in the sport of rugby league, carried his friend and former teammate Rob Burrow across the finish line of the Leeds Marathon. Burrow was diagnosed with the degenerative condition motor neuron disease in 2019.
It’s an image that encapsulates the power of friendship through adversity: Kevin Sinfield, a legendary figure in the sport of rugby league, stops short of the finish line of a marathon to gather Rob Burrow, his friend and former teammate, into his arms. The poignant moment came at the end of the inaugural Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon on Sunday and the pair received cheers from those spectating when they crossed the line together.
The 42-year-old Sinfield, now defense coach of the England rugby union team, has undertaken a series of endurance challenges to raise funds for MND since Burrow’s diagnosis – completing seven ultramarathons in seven days last year and running 101 miles in 24 hours the year before. His latest effort saw him push Burrow in an adapted wheelchair through the city of Leeds and its suburbs, crossing the finish line in a time of four hours, 21 minutes and 54 seconds.
