Motor Neurone Disease Association

Um, and then cycled, um, back to Hull Ice Arena for the Hull at Basingstoke game on Sunday.

Um, all of that was to raise donations for Motor Neurone Disease Association and Andy's main club.

Um, he was offered two seats, uh, by Leeds for the match against Lightning, as well as a post-game photo on the ice with the players and mascot to celebrate the challenge and help them raise more funds.

Um, hopefully, uh, if you have heard about it, NIHL's national, uh, page have posted it a couple weeks ago.

Also, you know, off the back of Doddy and Rob and Ed and all those guys who have done so much, so much work.

The MND Association says a third of people die within a year of diagnosis and more than half within two.

With No Cure, it says fundraising and keeping MND in the spotlight remains vital.

I think if you go back a few years, people didn't really know what MND was.

It's made so many more people aware of what it actually is and how many people it affects in the UK at any one time.

Alistair Lang there is from the MND Association in the East Midlands.

He's been telling me with more research still needed, the hope is that challenges like these can help bring a cure closer.

We need as much funding as we can possibly get.

Beyond our differences, he said, it's always possible to meet one another, to forge friendships and to seek peace.

The MND Association has stressed that the finishing line may be at Old Trafford this afternoon, but the fight against MND continues.

And Sir Kevin has already been saying today that this feat in the memory of his friend Rob Burrow is... is the first to acknowledge that his lasting legacy of this journey that he's been doing this week lies in the dedication and courage of those fellow travellers who've joined him along the way.

Testimony that the deepest hope is often found in burden shared and in the unexpected discovery that we do not walk alone.

But it's a real measure of the impact I think he's had on lots of people's lives.

And, uh, he's had an ongoing connection, um, and Rob Burrow certainly had an ongoing connection with both, uh, Princess Anne, she's patron of the Motor Neurone Disease Association, and then with, um, Prince William who-- um, and Catherine.

They visited, uh, the rugby league clubs, um, up in Yorkshire and of course, uh, William surprised Rob Burrow with his investiture a few years ago.

So they've, they both have a sort of tie to, uh, this story and to Kevin Sinfield in particular.

god it's really hard

to say um they are peddling um pedal pedal in the puck team fundraising for motor neurone disease association and also andy's man club which is a mental health sports service in uh england In October, Glenn Hartley and John Fish will be taking on a 170-mile cycle challenge over three days to raise awareness and fundraising for MND Association and Andy's Men Club.

Their journey will take them on Friday from Hull Ice to Ice Sheffield, where they'll watch the Sheffield Steeldogs play against the Telford Tigers.

On Saturday, they'll go from Sheffield to Planet Ice, where they'll watch the Leeds Knights versus the Peter of Phantoms.

We beat Quinns 16-14 that day, which was a bonus.

But importantly, the incredible rugby family came together to raise a fantastic £8,500 for the MND Association.

Fantastic.

Yeah, I was at that game.
