Arise Sir Kevin! ✨

Huge congratulations to Sir Kevin Sinfield, one of this year’s official starters of the AJ Bell Great Manchester Run, on his well-deserved knighthood. 👏

The former professional rugby league player and current England Rugby Union coach has raised millions of pounds for MND research, following his teammate Rob Burrow’s diagnosis with MND in 2019.

Kevin has gained widespread admiration for his relentless fundraising by completing a series of grueling endurance challenges, and this year, he joined a team of 50 MND Association runners taking on the 10K route at the Great Manchester Run, completing it in 00:39:04.

An amazing achievement, well done Kevin 👏
