Ahead of a star-studded fundraising event tonight, Rob Burrow’s sisters speak to Sheron Boyle about the impact his MND diagnosis has had on their family’s lives – and his continued show of courage and strength in raising awareness of MND.
Ex-England and Leeds rugby playing hero Rob Burrow’s sisters have spoken for the first time about the impact his devastating MND diagnosis has had on their family’s lives. Jo Hartshorne, 49, and Claire Burnett, 44, are Rob’s older sisters. The close-knit trio were raised by devoted parents, Geoff and Irene in Castleford, West Yorkshire, and the sisters laughingly recall how they use to mother and boss about the GB and Leeds Rhinos scrum half.
” Rob’s sisters were unsurprised he completed the marathon in his chair, despite it taking a gruelling toll in the ensuing days. “He’s mentally picked up the ball and continued to run, to chase that next goal - only this time it is not on a pitch but in a wheelchair and his opposition is MND,” says Claire. The sisters laugh as they both say: “He was always running with a ball - for as long as we can remember.
