Sinfield fundraising passes £1.3 million

A fortnight after Kevin Sinfield completed his latest epic fundraising challenge, the total raised has gone through £1.3 million and is still climbing as we head towards the New Year. 

Sinfield CBE completed his epic Running Home for Christmas fundraising challenge on Saturday 7th December. Sinfield ran in memory of Burrow, who passed away from MND in June this year. This was Sinfield’s fifth annual challenge for the MND community having raised nearly £10 million in the first four events. 

Sinfield is raising money for six MND charities with the MND Association being the primary partner and will aid the associations work in the region. The week long challenge started on 1st December with Sinfield and the team covering over 50km per day, visiting seven regions across Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Each day was broken down into 7km blocks, the number 7 as always central to Sinfield’s challenge in recognition of his friend and former team mate Rob Burrow, who wore the number during his glittering career alongside Sinfield at Leeds Rhinos. The team completed each 7km within one hour before the next block started on the hour, meaning the only rest the team will get between each leg is the time spare after they have completed the block.
