You can join them and help to raise awareness and fundraise for those like Rob who sadly have to fight motor neurone disease. Your continued kindness and generosity to us since we started in Edinburgh last Sunday means so much and these funds are going to make a huge difference to the MND community.

The pain was visibly etched on to Kevin Sinfield’s face when he completed his incredible latest fundraising challenge on Tuesday morning. Rob's friends and family and so many other thousands of rugby league fans and the general public have raised a huge total to help continue the important work of the MND Association.
