Kevin Sinfield Begins Fundraising Challenge for MND

Kevin Sinfield, the former rugby league star and current England rugby union coach, has begun his 'Running Home for Christmas' challenge, aiming to raise over £777,000 for motor neurone disease (MND) charities in memory of his late friend and teammate Rob Burrow. The challenge involves running over 50 kilometers each day for a week, with daily segments of 7 kilometers to honor Burrow's jersey number. Sinfield has already raised more than £16 million for MND awareness since Burrow's diagnosis in 2019. Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, sent their support to Sinfield, praising his efforts as a tribute to Burrow's legacy. Sinfield's first leg concluded at the Racecourse Ground in Wrexham, where he was warmly welcomed by fans and received gifts from the local football team. The challenge reflects Sinfield's commitment to raising awareness and supporting families affected by MND.
