00:08neurone disease. He started in Liverpool on Sunday and the route is taking in
00:12Wrexham, Gloucester, Belfast, Glasgow, Hull, Northampton and Manchester and Kevin is
00:18making good progress by running more than 50 kilometres a day to complete the
00:22230 mile run called Running Home for Christmas. Each day will also include an
00:28extra mile event when Sinfield will be joining members of the MND community in
00:32completing four laps of a running track. The 44 year old has said his fifth
00:36annual challenge was part of a legacy for his former teammates Rob Burrow who
00:40was diagnosed with MND in December 2019 and who died in June. In December 2023
00:46Kevin ran seven ultramarathons in seven days across seven cities. With Rob being
