Lindsey Burrow, widow of rugby league legend Rob Burrow, shared an emotional tribute, stating that Rob would have been 'with us in spirit' during the final stages of the challenge.

More than £13 million has been raised by Sinfield's '7 in 7' challenge, with funds supporting various MND charities including the MND Association and Darby Rimmer Foundation. Sinfield has vowed to continue his quest to find a cure for MND, emphasizing his lifelong commitment to the cause.
