Kevin Sinfield - 7 in 7 in 7

We’re on the final push of the 7 in 7 in 7. Our bodies and minds are busted but as I’ve said before, what we’re going through is nothing compared to someone who is living with MND. We felt so privileged yesterday in Brighton to have the opportunity to complete the Extra Mile alongside so many people living with MND. And the welcome we got from Brighton College at the end was something special. If you can donate, even just a little, please do – it makes such a difference to the MND community. Now onto London for the final leg.

We were in Dublin for less than 24 hours but it was a truly special experience. It was an honour and a pleasure to be joined by Charlie Bird from the Extra Mile event for our final 8k and for Irish rugby stars Tommy Bowe, Ian Madigan, Gordon D’Arcy and Keith Earls to join us. Like my mate Rob, Charlie has also shared his experiences of living with MND with the public to raise awareness of this awful disease. It was great to see Charlie and everyone else who came out to support, and to know we’ve hit 50% of our £777,777 target has been a real boost to the team. We go again today in Brighton.

It was great to be back in Edinburgh for another leg of our 7 in 7 in 7 challenge and it was honour to be joined by Doddie’s wife, Kathy for the Extra Mile. The weather has not been kind to us for the past few days and it is becoming tougher and tougher on the legs, but we’re now over half way with Dublin, Brighton and London to go. Thanks again for all of your support.

Thank you to the hundreds of you who have donated to this page and helped us raise a third of our £777,777 target. Yesterday was tough on the team and we had to dig deep. The weather was horrendous, but we met some lovely people on the way and we’re ready to go again today. We’re doing this for the 5500 people living with MND in the UK and Republic of Ireland right now and every penny you can donate will make a huge difference.

Thank you Cardiff for your incredible support – it was amazing to see so many people turn out to see us even though it was freezing cold. Next up we have Birmingham, then Edinburgh, Dublin, Brighton and London. If you’re nearby, we’d love it if you were able to come and support us on route.
