Sinfield Nears Finish of 7-in-7 MND Challenge After Surpassing £777,777 Goal

Donations have cleared the £777,777 goal in a week-long tribute to Rob Burrow.

Overview

  • The fifth leg from Workington to Whitehaven saw the target reached near Moresby, with outlets reporting totals ranging from over £780,000 to more than £813,000.
  • Sinfield runs the Scotland stage from Carnoustie to Dundee today before a Leeds finale at Headingley on Sunday.
  • Prince William praised Sinfield in an official message for his commitment to those affected by MND and urged him to look after his knees.
  • Daily “Extra Mile” segments invite people living with MND to join, and proceeds are being shared among six charities including the MND Association, Leeds Hospitals Charity’s Rob Burrow Centre and the My Name’s Doddie Foundation.
  • Crowds lined routes in West Cumbria as England head coach Steve Borthwick and fundraiser Gary McKee joined parts of the run, building on a multi-year effort that has already raised over £10 million for MND causes.
