How can anyone not be inspired by Sir Kev's efforts in the research into finding help for all MND sufferers? The section on BBC breakfast has left me again in awe of the man and his friendship with Rob and the others from the sporting community.
Hehehehehehehehe

An insanely heroic challenge - I can’t wait to see him achieve this and all the funds he’ll no doubt raise for such a great cause.

If there’s ever been a more dedicated and selfless individual - what a credit this man is! All the best ‘Sir Kev’!!

Inspired by Rob Burrow, Doddie Weir, Stephen Darby and other people living with MND, Kevin Sinfield will once again attempt an epic challenge to raise money to support the fight against MND.

Kevin will run from Edinburgh to Manchester via Melrose, Newcastle, Middlesbrough, York, Leeds and Bradford in seven days running over 60km per day. He will start on Sunday 13 November at Murrayfield and finish at Old Trafford at half time in the Rugby League World Cup men’s final on Saturday 19 November. #Ultra7in7, you've got this Kev!

Target: £777,777

Inspirational and deeply moving. I did one ultra earlier in the year and it broke me for weeks. 7 is insane - takes a special type of brave person to even contemplate it, never mind putting your body and mind through it.

Just shows Sir Kev is the type of superhero this world needs more of at the moment.
