7in7: Sinfield meets stricken former team-mate during effort for MND

Motor neurone disease (MND) sufferer and former Leeds Rhinos rugby league player Rob Burrow, left, with Kevin Sinfield during day six of the Ultra 7 in 7 Challenge.

Sinfield, a former Leeds captain, is set to complete seven ultra-marathons in as many days in aid of research into MND. He began at Murrayfield a week ago and will finish by running into Old Trafford at half-time of the Rugby League World Cup final today. The main beneficiaries will be the MND Association and Leeds Hospitals Charity’s appeal to build the Rob Burrow Centre but there will also be donations to MND Scotland and the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation
