Motor neurone disease awareness

With every good 7, there’s a 13 !

I'm raising money in aid of Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to the MND community.

I’ve taken massive inspiration from Rob Burrow (Leeds Rhino’s Rubgy Leage legend) who is sadly suffering from MND. This incredible No. 7 was nearly always one the smallest players on the field by stature, but always the largest on the field in commitment, bravery and fight!

Always there in support throughout Rob’s rugby career, and now also during his fight against MND, No.13 Kevin Sinfield OBE has completed three incredible challenges to help create awareness for MND. These included the original seven in seven , 101 miles in 24 hours, and most recently the Ultra 7 in 7.

There’s been some outstanding Rugby League duos over the years. Wigan veterans Shaun Edwards and Phil Clarke, St.Helen’s’ World Champions Sean Long and Paul Sculthorpe, and now the inspirational Leeds Rhino’s Messers Burrow and Sinfield! The commitment from one team mate to another can’t be questioned. The support for Rob and the MND community will always be there and with your donations the awareness of this life threatening condition can be raised and one day hopefully a cure can be found.

Running the Dublin Marathon this year is a very small commitment on my part in contrast with the huge battle Rob Burrow is going through against MND, and the colossal challenges taken on by Kevin Sinfield. But if you could donate what you can to the MND Association, the challenges become so worthwhile. Any donations with a 7 or 13 in them would be greatly appreciated, just in case you missed the theme there.

Thanks in advance for the support from the MND Association and all connected with the MND community.
