About this deal

He was awarded an OBE in the Queen's Birthday honours for his efforts, along with the Freedom of Leeds and a special BBC Award for his fundraising. He earned 61 caps for Scotland during a successful playing career, represented the British and Irish Lions on their successful tour to South Africa in 1997, and won championships with his two club sides, Melrose and Newcastle Falcons. With a young family of three children under the age of 10, he had been handed a life ending MND diagnosis and worse still, like so many, was then locked in his home as we battled the impact of Covid-19.

The pain was visibly etched on to Kevin Sinfield’s face when he completed his incredible latest fundraising challenge on Tuesday morning. This may result in small marks to the dustjacket and title page, please also bear in mind that each signature will be a little different from the one we show here.These networks may also use cookies to match your interests and make adverts more relevant for you on their site. Five stars awarded, not for the writing style and structure (which was muddled in places) but for the sheer bloody brilliance of his friendship and support for Rob and friendship to the other MND-suffering rugby colleagues. The only reason I didn't feel I could give a 5 star rating is because having personally ran the Leeds Marathon myself - seeing Sinfield and Burrows run the marathon together and then Kevin carrying Rob over the finish line - this felt like a better and more fuller end to this chapter of Kevin's life so far. The documentary also highlights his extraordinary dedication to help those affected by MND and offers an insight into how this journey has changed him personally. Told with Sinfield’s characteristic warmth, dry wit and inspirational leadership, The Extra Mile is the story of an astonishing life, of an enduring friendship, of perseverance against the most difficult of challenges, and of a remarkable, humble human being who has defied the odds.

It’s a fabulous read which gives you a look into the world of the Rugby League and what it can do and does for their friend and colleague .

As the charity of Leeds Teaching Hospitals, we provide support for eight areas which include Leeds General Infirmary, Leeds Children’s Hospital, Leeds Cancer Centre, St James’s University Hospital, Chapel Allerton Hospital, Seacroft Hospital, Wharfdale Hospital and Leeds Dental Institute.When time matters most, we’re a helping hand of support, so people with MND can make precious time count with the ones they love.

But it was the sight of Burrow’s wife Lindsey and daughter Macy running the final mile with Sinfield on Tuesday morning which truly stirred the emotions of everyone watching. Kevin Sinfield was a fan favourite and rugby league superstar who switched codes to become a successful union coach for the Leicester Tigers and England. Ireland head coach Andy Farrell has also made a great success of the switch and Wales' defence coach Mike Forshaw came from the other code too. I’m broken – I don’t know when I’ll be able to run again,” Sinfield told the BBC shortly after the finish.They'll take your donation and pass it onto Motor Neurone Disease Association, Leeds Hospitals Charity, The Darby Rimmer MND Foundation, My Name'5 Doddie Foundation and MND Scotland. Kevin is going from strength to strength, this is just the start I’m sure there will be a follow up at some point. It is evident from his successful stint as Leicester Tigers defence coach, during which he helped them win the Premiership, that Sinfield brings the same commitment to his work. Then in 2021, he set out to run 101 miles from Leicester - where he was coaching - to Leeds and ended up running 104 miles after getting lost twice. He was and is close friends with Rob Burrow from their time together at Leeds Rhinos to the present day and through that friendship has become recognised for far more than his sporting career.

Sinfield describes Edwards - winner of three Grand Slams coaching Wales and one with France - as "a legend" and his coaching achievements as "incredible", telling BBC Sport: "The way the French play, the flair and physicality, the power, the pace. This would be easy to pick up for somebody who thinks sports are not for them, it isn't alienating all.He goes through each of runs for Burrow and the MND community, how they came together and what he was thinking about while doing them, but the focus is very much on what they were all about, rather than any personal accomplishments. A one-club legend of Leeds Rhinos, who has now crossed codes as a defence coach for the England national rugby union team, Kevin Sinfield is a rugby icon. I loved this book ,although I don’t follow rugby I have followed Kevin’s friendship with Rob and his family .
