Rhinos legend Rob Burrow CBE made it his mission to campaign for Motor Neurone Disease after his diagnosis in 2019. His passion and advocacy for using the platform he had to raise the plight of the MND community grabbed the nation.

Alongside his former teammate and best friend Kevin Sinfield, the duo captured hearts with their fundraising efforts - culminating in the creation of the Rob Burrow Centre for MND right here in Leeds.

He sadly lost his battle with the condition but before his death, alongside his wife Lindsey, he opened his doors to TV cameras to document the toll MND takes on families.
