Rob Burrow's family praise MND Centre fundraisers
Yorkshire Evening Post
|May 20, 2025
The father of rugby legend Rob Burrow has paid tribute to the bangers-and-smash Yorkshire business people who have rallied in support of MND research and care.
In this exclusive interview, Geoff Burrow spoke out to praise the motoring fanatics who took to the county's roads to raise money for the Rob Burrow Centre for Motor Neurone Disease.
Their Banger Challenge 2025 saw a 1953 Ford, 1972 Saab and 1966 Singer head off from York on a 1,000-mile circuit in the name of the Seacroft Hospital unit which is due to open later this year and together they have so far raised £9000.
"I've been absolutely overwhelmed by the fundraising that Rob's memory continues to inspire across Yorkshire," Geoff told Yorkshire Live.
"People have been going through the pain barrier since Kevin Sinfield started to run himself in to the ground with his ultra marathons.
"It's the same with the Banger Challenge 2025 fundraising team because they turned their passion into much-needed funds for MND and went the extra mile in their vintage cars
