Rob Burrow is the RFL’s Chief Guest at todays’s Challenge Cup Final – in absentia. 

Inspired by his friend Doddie Weir, Rob has chosen to use his platform to further raise awareness of MND on behalf of those living with MND who do not have a public profile. 

The BBC documentary about Rob My Year with MND airs again today, Saturday, on BBC1 at 13.15 ahead of the Challenge Cup Final 

Supporters of Rugby League and all sports fans can show their support for the MND Association with this simple text to give  

Text MNDROB to 70085 to donate £7 – texts cost £7, plus one standard rate message 

 7 was of course Rob’s shirt number.
