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 Β£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 Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ 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."
