Lindsey Burrow tribute to husband Rob

We are all deeply saddened by the loss of our devoted husband and father.

I was incredibly proud and fortunate to call Rob my husband. I am unbelievably proud of the campaigning he’s done to raise awareness and the millions of pounds that have been raised in his name for MND charities.

I would like to thank the Rugby League community and everyone for their outpouring of love and support since Rob’s diagnosis. I truly appreciate every message of support, and fundraising that has been done.

My priority is to make Rob proud, and to bring our three children up as Rob would want and ensure their happiness and well-being.

We will continue to keep Rob’s legacy alive. We will continue to ‘bang the drum’ and do our best to try and help others.

I would like to thank Dr Agam Jung and the MND team at Seacroft Hospital for all the care they have shown Rob since his diagnosis and all the staff at Pinderfields for their compassion for Rob in his final days.

Although we knew this day would arrive, I am somehow still feeling at a loss for words that our loving, kind and caring husband and father has departed. However, we take comfort from how much people’s love and continued support meant to Rob through his most vulnerable times.

He was simply the best.

Our Hero
