Rob Burrow: Living With MND
BBC2, Tuesday, 7pm
The former rugby league star was diagnosed with motor neurone disease less than two years after he helped his side, Leeds Rhinos, to a recordbreaking eighth Super League final in 2017.
The degenerative disease, for which there is no cure, can strike anyone at any time and for Burrow, it presented challenges unlike anything he encountered during his career.
Yet he approached his condition with determination, and now, he allows us into his life to show how, with the support of friends, family, the rugby league community and the NHS, he is making the most of his life.
