Dave, I rarely watch Breakfast TV so well done yourself for putting it up. ?
Nearly at £1.6 million now, almost as amazing as Rob Burrow could be on the field.

The video they showed Kevin Sinfield before he started today was so moving. The bond between them is so amazing and Rob is right when he says "everyone needs a friend like Kev".

Nice interview with Sinfield and Burrow's dad this morning. An issue close to my heart having lost two friends in their 50s to the disease - one not three months ago.

Watched Kev on the BBC breakfast show this morning.
Have to admit I had tears streaming down my face.
Like others on here I have seen Rob Burrow play many times.
My god, he could play.
What this disease has done to him (and others) is heart breaking.
Well done to Kevin Sinfield and well done to the BBC for getting behind him.
Past £2,250,000 now btw.

Hahaha......... Just like you all did to help out when I was in danger of depriving the H4H veteran of that GoKart Trolley that I woke-up in time to make a final bid on during the H4H Auction 2 or 3 years ago.... I seem to remember we finished buying one for him & one for his fellow Veteran....... such is this forum's generosity. Some good memories.And now at £1.75 million.

Yeah, we're not the worst bunch on here. Not far from it, but not the worst...
Sometimes we just forget to remember it.

Just watched a documentary on this on You Tube. Called "Seven in Seven - the inside story" if anyone's interested. Kevin Sinfield is one of life's good guys.

Yes, I find it amazing that however complicated & diverse our world gets, it's still pretty easy to identify genuinely sincere & good guys like Kev & Rashford.
So how on earth have we got the PM we have..... unbelievable.

I was watching on BBC this morning about the next thing that Kevin Sinfield is doing.
It was sad to see the state of Rob and Doddie now, and how they have deteriorated. The work Kevin Sinfield has done to raise money and awareness for MND is immense. And he has done it with a quiet dignity and resolve, and for a mate (in the first instance). I have nothing but absolute respect for the man.

I've sadly had a friend recently diagnosed with MND at the age of 42. I hadn't seen him in probably 12 months or so before last night and it was heartbreaking to see the deterioration - slurring words, shaky and a more nasal voice.
The worst thing was we'd been taking the mick out him as his golf had started to drop off a cliff about 18 months ago and we were like "just swing at it, you look like you're holding back on it" but the poor bugger was just slowing down and didn't know why at the time.
A cruel cruel disease.

Hope…I lost a very good mate to it some years ago, and another of our rollup fairly recently. Both in their 40s. Horrible and tragic.
