Rob Burrow has urged Prime Minister Rishi Sunk to make the remaining £20million pledged by the Government to help fund research into Motor Neurone Disease available as soon as possible after collecting an award at Downing Street on Monday.
The Leeds Rhinos legend received the Points of Light Award personally from Sunak on Monday, receiving further and deserved praise for the work he has done in shedding a light on the condition, which he thousands of Britons suffer with. The Government have promised £50million to help research MND further, £30million of which is already available.
But Burrow said he hoped it would not be long before the remaining funding was made available to the MND community, urging Sunak that sufferers of the condition do not have time to wait.
