'Role model' Lindsey is honoured
Yorkshire Evening Post
|July 17, 2025
Lindsey Burrow has been awarded an honorary doctorate for her inspiring voluntary work.
The 42-year-old, who is the widow of Leeds Rhinos legend Rob Burrow, was recognised with the award from Leeds Beckett University for the support she offered her husband during his heroic battle with MND.
Undeterred by his diagnosis, the pair continued raising awareness of the disease through interviews and fundraising, taking part in BBC documentary Rob Burrow: Living with MND. This was all while Lindsey continued working full-time as a physiotherapist and cared for the couple's three young children.
