My Story

We have watched Rob Burrows (former Leeds Rhinos rugby league player) on BBC Breakfast for the last 18 months and have been inspired by his upbeat attitude and his smiling face! With three young children and a relentlessly positive wife, Rob and his family have shown remarkable strength of character despite a fast deterioration in his physical condition (since his diagnosis nearly two years ago).

Our aim is to help Rob and the NHS reach their £5 million target to fund a purpose-built modern rehab & family centre in Leeds.

We want to DO something to contribute and to raise awareness, since it will be his legacy and will also benefit many MND sufferers through their inevitably sad and challenging journey.

Whether or not you can join in with the tennis, please contribute as much as you can!

Many thanks, Sam & Andy Barke :)
