What the petition asks
The public already recognise Kevin Sinfield as a national treasure for his loyalty, bravery and superhuman efforts in memory of his friend Rob Burrow and efforts to raise money to find a cure for MND.
Inspired by his friendship with Rob Burrow, who recently lost his battle with MND. His heroic endurance challenges, including running 7 ultra-marathons in 7 days, have raised millions of pounds for MND research and care.
Kevin’s selfless actions have inspired the nation, shed light on the urgent need for progress in MND research, and provided hope for those living with this devastating condition. His commitment epitomises the values of courage, compassion, and public service.
