Echoing everything that has been said already on this thread. Sinfield is on a different level.

That's what a true friend does. What a lovely picture. Lump in the throat moment. Kevin Sinfield,rugby league legend on and off the field.

I was up in Otley watching it from the rugby club, so just as the runners were heading up the brutal incline into Otley town centre - an incredible effort by everybody! 

Also, I've never seen as many Wigan shirts in my life! Leeds - a town full of pie fans?  

The crowds in Otley were one of my highlights. The crowds in general were absolutely amazing even though they constantly lied to you...down hill from here, llast hill this.. 200m to go etc etc 

Absolutely chuffed to be a part of the event.

Not only is King Kev amazing but all the people and volunteers who help make this happen, fantastic event.

Big congratulations to Mrs Moose and junior Moose who both completed the race. The wife said it was brutal my son said it was f****** brutal.

Both were between 15 and 20 mins outside their best times

Kevin Sinfield is truly wonderful human being.

I hope people dont mind me piggybacking on to this thread.....

 

I'm doing a series of cycle rides to various RL venues to raise funds for MNDA.

I cycled to Thatto Heath for the Challenge Cup

I've cycled to Rochdale Hornets for the League 1 game v North Wales Crusaders on 7th May from North Wales

On 21st May I'm cycling from North Wales to Birmingham for our game vs Midlands Hurricanes. The 'Canes social media is promoting the ride and there will be a MNDA buclet collection at the game.

On 23rd May I set of to ride to Cornwall RLFC for our game on 28th May.

Sinfield and Burrow were (unexpectedly) the subject of this morning's Thought for the Day segment on Radio 4.

Fantastic stuff mate, will make a donation. I think this is worth a new thread so you get more eyes on it and hopefully more donations though, what you’re doing is phenomenal.

They were also, rather surprisingly, the first point of discussion on the Telegraph’s Planet Normal podcast. Though one of the presenters did say Leeds Rhinos Rugby Union

This is a nice late add-on to the story.
