Kevin ready for his next ultra tough feat

KEVIN Sinfield is hoping Lewis Moody can be part of his latest challenge to raise funding and awareness for motor neurone disease.

- 

Sinfield will embark on the ‘7 in 7: Together’ challenge next Monday, his sixth annual event to support the MND community after his friend and former Leeds Rhinos teammate Rob Burrow was diagnosed with the incurable and life-limiting disease in 2019.

Sinfield has already raised over £10million towards research into the disease and support for families affected by it.

Former England rugby union captain Moody - a 2003 World Cup winner - announced his MND diagnosis in September.

Sinfield has been in touch with Moody and said: “It reminded me so much of Rob, that first conversation.

“I know (Lewis) is a World Cup winner, but that probably doesn’t do him justice of what a great champion guy he is.

“He’s just a lovely man, a big family man.

“I'm very hopeful he will join us at some point on the route.
