Seven In Seven - The inside story

On 1st December 2020, legendary Leeds Rhinos captain Kevin Sinfield set out as part of a small team of six to run seven marathons in seven days to raise funds to support his friend and former teammate Rob Burrow, who had been diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease a year earlier, and the MND Association.
Sinfield set the target of completing each marathon in under four hours with the aim of raising £77,777 for Rob Burrow and the MND Association. By the time they had finished, the fund raised over £2 million. This is the inside story of the week long challenge.

If this man doesn’t get a knighthood there is no justice.

100%....especially with the news this morning that the self serving Lewis Hamilton is to be made a knight of the realm. This man epitomises all that is good in (most) humans.

[@honestloz]

Rob Burrow is a Legend so is Kevin Sinfield, these guys are something else! in fact all Rugby League players have a special quality. They are always there for each other no matter what. I have nothing but admiration for them all.

[@mndassoc]

Excited to watch 👏 thank you for sharing!

[@robpowell1286]

Simply the best video I have ever seen on KZbin. It's no wonder Leeds Rhinos were so successful with this man leading from the front. JJB hit the nail on the head - 'Kevin Sinfield. The Man. The King'. ❤️

[@terrywardley1890]

One of the best things I’ve ever watched..well done Kevin..unbelievable achievement

[@westy1620]

Outstanding effort by Kevin and everyone who took part

[@metrhino]

The most inspiring man in sport.

[@channelwanderer7010]

A very serious man helping his friend fighting a very serious disease. May everyones gods bless these men. Legend.

[@iamnotyou1609]

[@geoffreyheald6977]

Such a touching film. So pleased that I’ve been able to follow Kev over the last few days in his journey. My thoughts go out to Rob and his family.

[@paulinemoriarty3627]

That’s a true friend, how lucky they have each other

[@Brippy]

Thank you so much Sir Kev, what you have done is magnificent and for such a worthy cause. Robbie Burrow and his lovely family so deserve all the help we can give after Rob has given us Rhino fans his everything for so long on the field. And the awareness of this terrible illness is now increased tenfold.

[@nwk-wt3ty]

This is called leading by example.

[@badgerbadger1391]

The best bloke in the world. X

[@Danny-iv6je]

To Kev and everybody who took part what an unbelievable effort, you have done a lot of people proud and what you’ve done will make a massive difference. Well done 💪🏻💪🏻

Amazing feat for a friend and for MND, Rugby League family at it's best

[@bikerpaul68]

We always knew Kevin Sinfield is a top athlete and an all-round good bloke, but this is just a tremendous achievement. All the best to him and to Rob and his family.

[@PhilReid]

One of the most inspirational feats of determination and friendship I have ever seen

[@KathleenFarrell-vv2kv]

Absolutely warrior of a man Kevin, biggest heart I've ever seen. Him and Rob were fortunate too have each other a true friendship of pure love and respect. My heart breaks for both of them but such beautiful memories. I'm sure Rob will watch over Kevin like the angel he was 💖🕊️

[@nicolaburke1876]

[@maxbean3095]

Rename the South stand at Headingley the Burrow - Sinfield stand

[@georgemacpherson1992]

Good idea that. A bit long of a name isn’t it. I think the South stand should be called Rob Burrow stand and the North should be Kevin Sinfield stand.

[@maxbean3095]

​@@georgemacpherson1992 Great shout. I'm tempted to start an online petition!

[@alanhall8340]

Absolute legend what you done for Rob and his family , I will make a contribution to the trust , ,Hollander

[@vikkiparker1362]

Star guy! Silly observation but has anyone else noticed he runs as if he still has a ball under one arm, elbow crooked in hand towards the body!

[@chrisprescott6413]

It's unreal how these lads do this but as a ex rugby player to them it's nothing special it's just what you do it's a great family to be apart of the game of rugby league

[@jdart1975]

Well done sir kev amazing effort. Rob and his family will be so proud of you. 🦏

[@mattpumfrey4440]

Incredible team effort . Amazing amount of money raised . Hero’s

[@countycricklewood]

This man is pure and utter class! He is the one who should win 'Sports Personality Of The Year'! Utterly selfless. How fit is he as well. Leicester should give him a shirt! The man can play! Pure Chutzpah! 👏👏👍👍👌👌😃

[@johnearle1394]

I'm not a rugby fan I'm into football n boxing but this story has touched me big style over last few months n had tears of sadness but also joy how people in rugby community have come together it's fantastic Kev sinfield doesn't want a knighthood not that sort of bloke most people who get them don't deserve anything as system is totally corrupt god bless rob Lindsay n children n all his family n true friends that he's obviously got

[@siboo709]

Bacon and egg butty and then where going Leeds lads. What an absolute hero and gentleman you are Kevin sinfield so humble so inspiring god bless you and rob and everyone who is fighting mnd

[@mattwilcock6967]

Kev sounds proper Yorkshire when he says bacon butty 😂

[@glenndunkerley4610]

Yorkshire! Wash your mouth out - this lad is Lancashire born and bred 😂

[@cgmuso6619]

Was gonna say. Sounds like a pretty broad Lancashire accent to me 😁

[@user.--.]

He's an adopted Yorkshire man, whether he knows it or not

[@rodengorman8762]
