Nigeria - Web content about Rob Burrow
A final message from rugby league legend and Motor Neurone Disease (MND) campaigner, Rob Burrow, urges people not to 'waste a moment' of their lives.
The speech was recorded for the BBC documentary 'There’s Only One Rob Burrow,' with the former Leeds Rhinos star asking for it to be shared after his death.
Burrow, who passed away on Sunday at the age of 41, expressed his hope that there would one day be a cure for the degenerative condition.
Burrow's diagnosis in 2019 came two years after he retired from playing, with his 17-year career with the Rhinos and Great Britain including eight Super League Grand Final wins, three World Club Challenges, and two Challenge Cups.
'Although we knew this day would arrive, I am somehow still feeling at a loss for words that our loving, kind, and caring husband and father has departed,' she said.
'However, we take comfort from how much people’s love and continued support meant to Rob through his most vulnerable times.
'On Monday morning, members of Burrow's family oversaw the start of construction on a new facility in Leeds named after him.
After he was diagnosed with MND, Burrow and his friend and former teammate Kevin Sinfield raised more than £15 million for charity in less than five years.
He was made an MBE in the 2021 New Year Honours list for his services to rugby league and the MND community and was promoted to a CBE in the 2024 New Year Honours.
Some users say the bikes are the fastest way to travel in Leeds, while others have questioned the cost.
