Rob Burrow
No story about Kevin can be told without mentioning friendship, and one friendship in particular: Rob Burrow.
Kevin and Rob first met as teenagers and went on to become teammates, confidants and lifelong friends. They sat next to each other in the dressing room throughout an illustrious playing career and were central figures in one of rugby league’s greatest ever teams. Their bond extended far beyond the game, becoming a powerful example of loyalty, courage and selflessness.
When Rob was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease, Kevin stood alongside his friend and family, helping to transform public awareness of the disease. Together, they inspired millions through their courage, determination and unwavering friendship. Their story has touched people worldwide and remains one of the most powerful examples of friendship in modern sport.

⭐️ 7 IN 7: THE GRAND FINALE ⭐️
Sunday 27th September – Saturday 3rd October
Kevin Sinfield CBE and his team will once again unite the MND community with his latest challenge.
Kevin and the team, who have already raised over £15 million across six previous challenges, are set to run seven ultra‑marathons in seven days across the North of England — where it all began.
The 2026 challenge marks the seventh and final annual fundraising feat for Sinfield and the 7 in 7 team, with funds supporting charities that work with those affected by Motor Neurone Disease across the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
Starting on Sunday 27th September in Hull, the team will run an ultra‑marathon every day for seven days, visiting all 12 English Super League grounds before finishing at Old Trafford ahead of the Betfred Super League Grand Final.
As with recent challenges, each day will be split into 7km blocks that Kevin must complete within the hour before beginning the next leg. An additional Extra Mile will take place daily, giving members of the MND community the opportunity to join Kevin and complete their own mile alongside him.
Six MND charities will once again benefit from the challenge. The MND Association will be the main beneficiary, alongside donations to Leeds Hospitals Charity’s support for the Rob Burrow Centre, the Irish MND Association, the Darby Rimmer MND Foundation, the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, and MND Scotland.
Details of timings and route maps will be announced closer to the event.
