Kevin Sinfield - 7 in 7 Together

A huge thank you to everyone who has already donated in support of 7 in 7: Together our sixth challenge in support of the MND community. 

We’re now just days away from the start in Suffolk and our focus this week is on our final preparations - and banking plenty of sleep - for the immense challenge which lies ahead. 

We know it’s going to be tough – it always is – but it’s nothing compared with the challenges people with MND, their families and carers face every day. Every mile along the way is for them – to show them love and support and to raise funds to ensure they continue to get the care they need while research into new treatments continues. 

We know times are really hard for many just now, but any money you can spare will go to the right place – supporting MND charities who do so much to help people living with MND and those closest to them. 

And if you can, please do come out and support us on the road next week. Every smile, cheer and kind word makes a huge difference to all of us. 

Thank you! 

Kevin

There are just 50 days to go until Kevin Sinfield CBE sets off on his latest challenge – 7 in 7: Together.
 
During the first week of December, Kevin and the team will be running seven ultra marathons in seven regions of the UK and Ireland over seven days to turn the spotlight on MND and help raise vital funds.
 
Kevin and the team have raised more than £10 million over the past five years to support MND charities, helping to fund research and support for people affected by this cruel disease. Once again, Kevin and the team have committed to a gruelling week-long challenge on behalf of the 5,000 people who are living with MND at any one time.
 
The challenge begins on Monday 1 December in East Anglia, with the team running from Bury St Edmunds to Ipswich in tribute to former Ipswich Town striker Marcus Stewart, who is living with MND. 
 
The next day, the team travels to the Republic of Ireland in memory of legendary Irish broadcaster Charlie Bird, who died from MND in 2024, where they’ll be supported by the Irish MND Association, once again a beneficiary of the challenge. The day will also see the team remember former Warrington Rugby League player and Munster Rugby Union coach Paul Darbyshire, who died in 2011 from MND.
 
On 3 December, the challenge goes to Wales for a circuit of Swansea before heading to South Yorkshire for an ultra-marathon around the hills of Sheffield. That day will end at the Sheffield Institute for Translational Neuroscience (SITraN) where groundbreaking research, funded by money raised from Kevin’s previous challenges, is ongoing.
 
On 5 December, Kevin and the team will visit Cumbria with a run from Workington to Whitehaven in a region that’s passionate about Rugby League.
 
The penultimate day will see the challenge move to Scotland with the late Doddie Weir always an inspiration for the team when they cross the border. This day will start at the legendary golf course Carnoustie with the route taking the runners into Dundee.
 
On the final day the team returns to Leeds for the first since 2023. It will be a particularly poignant day as the team makes its way through North Yorkshire to the AMT Headingly Rugby Stadium, a venue synonymous with both Kevin and our patron Leeds Rhino legend, Rob Burrow CBE who died from MND last year.
 
Once again, six MND charities will benefit from the challenge. The MND Association is the main beneficiary along with Leeds Hospitals Charity’s support for the Rob Burrow Centre, Irish MND Association, Darby Rimmer Foundation, My Name’5 Doddie Foundation and MND Scotland.
