Kevin Sinfield - the extra mile
Rugby League legend, Kevin Sinfield, has completed a remarkable challenge in support of motor neurone disease research and his great friend and former teammate, Rob Burrow.
Rugby league legend Kevin Sinfield has completed a run of 101 miles in 24 hours in support of motor neurone disease research and his great friend and former teammate, Rob Burrow - who has MND. He set off from Welford Road, where he is a Leicester Tigers coach. The route ended at Headingley, home of rugby league club Leeds Rhinos, where he played for 18 years. Sinfield raised 拢2.7m last year by running seven marathons in seven days. This was another epic challenge which pushed him to his limit.
"It's been a real team effort from all the crew and I wouldn't have got it done without them," Sinfield told 大象传媒 Breakfast after finishing at Headingley. "The support along the route has been incredible right from the start. It was certainly a battle - we wanted a battle and we certainly got one."
For 5 Minutes On, we take you along the route with Kevin as he completes another remarkable challenge.
