Kevin Sinfield Runs 230 Miles for MND

Kevin Sinfield, the rugby league legend, is currently undertaking his 'Running Home for Christmas' challenge, aiming to run 50 kilometers daily for seven days to raise funds for motor neurone disease (MND) research. As of now, he has raised over £500,000 towards his target of £777,777, running in memory of his late friend and teammate Rob Burrow, who passed away from MND in June. The challenge commenced on December 1, with Sinfield covering various routes across the UK, including stops in Liverpool, Bristol, Belfast, and Glasgow. On December 5, he set off from Beverley to Hull, where he was greeted by a supportive crowd. This year’s challenge holds special significance as it honors not only Burrow but also former Hull FC player Adam Maher, who died from MND. The event is Sinfield's fourth annual fundraising effort for MND charities, having previously raised nearly £10 million through similar initiatives.
