Rob Burrow and Kevin Sinfield gave The Prince of Wales a tour around Headingley Stadium in 2024
The Prince of Wales offered “huge
congratulations” to Sinfield on social media yesterday, describing the former rugby league star’s bid to run seven ultramarathons in seven days as “incredible”.
Writing on the Prince and Princess of Wales social media
accounts, Prince William urged Sinfield to “look after those knees!”
He wrote: “Your
commitment to Rob and everyone affected by MND is truly inspiring. Thank you
for shining a light on the need for research and support, and for the hope and
example you bring.”
Prince William made both Sinfield and Burrow Commanders of the
Order of the British Empire (CBEs) at the Rhinos’ Headingley Stadium in January
2024.
The prince opened the Rob Burrow Centre for Motor Neurone Disease – the first purpose-built facility dedicated entirely to MND care,
research, education and holistic support – last month.
