'People know what MND is now thanks to Sinfield'
The former Leeds Rhinos player starts his latest fundraising challenge at the home of Hull KR.
Kevin Sinfield, a former rugby league player, is launching his final challenge to raise awareness for motor neurone disease (MND). Craig Eskrett, an avid Hull KR supporter and MND patient diagnosed in 2023, will be there to start Sinfield's 7 in 7: The Grand Finale, consisting of seven ultra marathons over seven days. Craig's wife, Ileshia, stated that Sinfield's efforts have helped people understand MND, making a significant impact.
The 46-year-old MND patient, Craig, along with his family, has contributed to raising funds for MND charities. Sinfield's challenge, inspired by his former teammate Rob Burrow's fight against MND, involves running between Hull and Manchester, visiting all 12 English Super League grounds. The event aims to sell 7,777 pairs of sports socks, with the number seven being a significant part of the initiative.
