What got me through is knowing how proud Rob would have been

Following the London Marathon on Sunday April 27, fundraising hero Lindsey Burrow conquered the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon on Sunday, raising over £18,500 in honour of her late husband, Rob Burrow.

The charities that will benefit from Lindsey's exceptional fundraising efforts are the Leeds Rhinos Foundation and Leeds Hospitals Charity's fundraising appeal for the Rob Burrow Centre for Motor Neurone Disease.

Lindsey, 41, battled the 20-degree heat and the challenging course to complete the marathon in just over five hours, driven by her determination to raise as much money as possible for two charities close to her heart.

Almost a year after Rob sadly died, Lindsey is continuing her efforts to fundraise and raise awareness of the condition that cut her husband's life tragically short. At the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon, Lindsey was team captain for the Leeds Rhinos Foundation running alongside other fundraisers supporting the charity.
