Lindsey Burrow is preparing to run the London Marathon in memory of her late husband, rugby league star Rob Burrow, who passed away from motor neurone disease (MND) in 2024. Burrow plans to run not only to honor Rob but also to raise funds for MND research. Alongside her brother Mark, she aims to embody Rob's spirit during the race. Their efforts, including a significant fundraising campaign launched by Rob and his friend Kevin Sinfield, have greatly contributed to MND charities. The article also highlights the broader context of the marathon supporting various charities, including Pancreatic Cancer UK.
As I lace up my trainers I'll definitely be thinking of Rob and the MND community. That is ultimately why I am running the race, to make Rob proud.
Rob will be at the forefront of my mind. It will be emotional but I'm looking forward to it.
