Stunning image shows amazing care Rob Burrow gets from wife Lindsey

A new image has been released showing the loving care that the wife of Rob Burrows shows to her husband every day. The former rugby league star is suffering from Motor Neurone Disease and a new documentary on ITV shows the daily care his loving wife Lindsey gives him - carrying him in her arms to his bed.

Brave Rob hit the headlines recently when his former team-mate Kevin Sinfield carried him across the line of the Leeds Marathon last month. He had pushed him around the 26 mile course and the final few steps when he took him in his arms touched the nation.

Mum of three Lindsey has been married to Rob for 17 years and has called for Kevin to be given a knighthood for his fundraising efforts. Every day she looks after her husband, the documentary shows, as he battles his MND condition which was diagnosed four years ago. He was given just two years to live, but thanks to the care he has received and his own will is still alive, the Mirror reports.
