"Especially my beautiful wide Lindsey and my amazing kids. Lindsey did not expect to sign up for this but she puts me first and foremost. I'm not here without her sacrifice. Lastly, this is for all the MND warriors out there, we will not stop with finding a cure. Thanks for your help." "In sport and certainly in rugby, the connections you make, the friends don't just stop when the whistle goes. Sport is powerful enough to bring communities together.”
@ChallengeKanza commented: “Ok wow that hit me hard! What amazing friends and family Rob has! Kevin Sinfield is a superstar...powerful speech..."MND is not incurable. It is underfunded." Makes you realise how precious your health is and how you shouldn't take it for granted. #RobBurrows #SPOTY #MND
