  4. To those who don’t know, this is MBE Rob Burrow, a famous rugby player who received a devastating diagnosis of motor neurone disease in 2019. He was given 2 years to live, & decided to go publicly with his condition and journey to raise awareness and funds for MND. He sadly passed away Sunday after a long battle with it leaving behind his wife & children.

  7. I remember watching Rob play, he was a hell of a Rugby player. Glad to see that he's fighting through his condition and with the support of his friends and family.
