Rob Burrow's wife, Lindsey, was reduced to tears after her husband told her to find someone else after he dies.
The Leeds Rhinos legend and father of three was first diagnosed with motor neurone disease back in 2019, and has been campaigning for research funding ever since.
Rob has been joined in his battle for change by the likes of British and Irish Lions and Scotland international Doddie Weir and former Liverpool footballer Stephen Darby, who have both been diagnosed with the condition.
