Rob Burrow reveals Kevin Sinfield's touching words during emotional Leeds Marathon finale

Rob Burrow has revealed the exchange he had with Kevin Sinfield as the pair finished the Leeds Marathon together. The iconic image of the two finishing the run, with Sinfield carrying Burrow across the finishing line, has spread across the world.

Over £4 million has been raised for various charities as a result of the marathon, which was created to honour Burrow and to continue spreading awareness for Motor Neurone Disease, which the former Leeds Rhinos star was diagnosed with back in 2019.

In total, Sinfield's fundraising efforts for MNDA have surpassed £8 million, while Burrow's journey has brought worldwide awareness to MND. In an interview with The Sun, Burrow shed light on his run with Sinfield, and the conversation they had when completing the race.
