Rob Burrow urged people not to waste a moment and expressed his hope for a world one day free of motor neurone disease in his final message recorded prior to his death. The Leeds Rhinos great died at the age of 41 on Sunday, having dedicated the last four-and-a-half years of his life to raising money and awareness for MND causes after being diagnosed with the condition in December 2019.
'I did some reflection driving into work thinking what is it all about and what is really important? Your friendships, the memories you're making, your family, your health, and outside of that trying not to waste too much energy on things which don't matter as much. 'It's a nice time to reflect and also a nice time to celebrate what a special guy Rob Burrow was.
