Reacting to the news of Burrow’s death, Craige Richardson, director of estates and facilities at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, said: “We are really sorry to hear the news about Geoff Burrow.<\/p>\n
“Geoff played a huge role in the development of the new Rob Burrow Centre for Motor Neurone Disease. <\/p>\n
“He came to every stakeholder and development meeting over the two years, and he championed all the work taking place to build the centre. <\/p>\n
“He had so much energy and enthusiasm to help create a legacy for Rob and support the MND community.”<\/p>\n
Richardson added that it was “a significant moment to share Geoff and Irene’s first view of the new centre when it opened”.<\/p>\n
“He loved it and he was incredibly proud. That will stay with us all,” he said.<\/p>\n
“His passion for research and to find a cure for MND is something we will continue as a trust, as the centre progresses its first research projects this year.<\/p>\n
“Our thoughts are with Irene and the entire Burrow family.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Reacting to the news of Burrow’s death, Craige Richardson, director of estates and facilities at Leeds Teaching Hospitals…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":503721,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[59,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-503720","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-gb","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/503720","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=503720"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/503720\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/503721"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=503720"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=503720"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=503720"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
