A FUNDRAISER by Leeds Rhinos legend Kevin Sinfield for teammate Rob Burrow and the Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association has passed £2 million.

Sinfield ran seven marathons in seven days with the goal of raising £77,777 for the charity and Burrow, who is living with the illness.

He had already raised £1.2m by the time he completed his seventh run on Monday.

“I’m absolutely blown away and I can’t thank people enough,” Sinfield said.

“The whole MND community has got behind us and it’s going to make a huge difference.”

Sinfield, who is now the Rhinos’ director of rugby, was club captain for the majority of Burrow’s 17-year career with Leeds.

Burrow retired in 2017 and revealed he had been diagnosed with MND in December of 2019.

He said of his old captain: “Kev, from day one, has always been a role model for me and someone who I hold in the highest regard.

“I hope you know I’d do the same for you; it means everything to me.”
