rugby female Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 OK, I take your criticism. But I still feel the same about the Honours nonsense and the reason I posted on here is because posters were asking for Kevin to receive an Honour.

Have you seen how much MND raises a year through donations generally, KS has raised almost 20% of their normal donations in about 3 weeks. It isn't just the physical act of 7 marathons in 7 days, it's the increased awareness of the disease too. That is where KS differentiates from others doing similar charity work.

There are ordinary people every day of the week who are out there raising money or giving their time etc to whichever cause/ person they feel is dear to their heart. ( quietly, without any Press) And believe me the majority of people are doing this to support a family member or friend. But they do not have the advatage of Press/TV coverage of whatever they are doing like Kevin etc. I applaud Kevin for his wonderful efforts but he is not alone in his amazing endeavours. I detest the 'Honours List', it is usually just a bunch of z list celebs trying to get something for nothing, and then any and every one of them using that Honour to their advantage. The Honours List should be abolished and anyone who received one in the past should be cancelled. If not then for me why are we not giving every single member of the NHS ( i mean everyone, domestics, volunteers etc) the same recognition? We live in a very odd world. You don't really know much about the honours system as itvis now, do you. In any Cas, the place to debate that is on the political sub forum.

fieldofclothofgold Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 If they gave Kevin Sinfield a Knighthood it wont be for services to RL . It will be a well deserved award for a worthy cause . We will still be awaiting a former player being Knighted for services to RL .

I put it down to a joke that the buffoon fell for. His own party questions are fed to him well beforehand so pre prep may have been an issue. The Honours list is of course independently policed / assessed . Sinfield has become a beacon for our game and we need to shout it loud and clear on here.

JohnM Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Thas great, as the prog is watched by millions of people across the whole country. Must praise the BBC () for the way it embraced Sinfield's campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSoutherner Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Just seen this on the BBC - a glimmer of hope MND might be reversible https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-55718363 They discovered in human stem cell models of MND, the axon - the long part of the motor neuron cell that connects to the muscle - was shorter than in healthy cells. And the movement of the mitochondria, which travel up and down the axons, was impaired The scientists showed that this was caused by a defective energy supply from the mitochondria and that by boosting the mitochondria, the axon reverted back to normal. Dr Arpan Mehta, who led the study at Euan MacDonald Centre for MND research said: "The importance of the axon in motor nerve cells cannot be understated. "Our data provides hope that by restoring the cell's energy source we can protect the axons and their connection to muscle from degeneration.

Futtocks Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 The money raised for motor neurone disease from Kevin Sinfield’s ‘7 in 7’ marathon challenge has been doubled after a medical research charity agreed to match it. https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/kevin-sinfields-marathon-fund-raising-pot-doubles-for-mnd/?utm_content=bufferef8c4&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

Red Willow Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Not quite, £500,000 of the £2.2 will be doubled, every penny counts especially at the moment "Sinfield’s efforts raised £2.2million for the MND Association in total in support of his friend and former Leeds team-mate Rob Burrow, who was diagnosed with the condition in December 2019. Of that funding, £500,000 was targeted directly to research and LifeArc, a medical research charity, has now matched it, to boost research funding by £1m in total."
