What a modest guy who is surrounded by family and friends enabling him to have a great career and then raise awareness for such a cruel condition such as MND, a true champion.

He was knocked out cold twice as a player but, in reference to the ongoing legal action by former players, says: “I’m not inclined to retrospectively challenge a sport when I’m not sure the sport knew the risks or consequences. Told with Sinfield’s characteristic warmth, dry wit and inspirational leadership, The Extra Mile is the story of an astonishing life, of an enduring friendship, of perseverance against the most difficult of challenges, and of a remarkable, humble human being who has defied the odds. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others.BBC Breakfast has been with Kevin and his team from the very start and captured each of the 3 challenges. I brought my copy at one of Kevin’s book signings, he’s just as friendly in person as he comes across in the book! The book equips readers with the tools and the mindset to embrace togetherness and to overcome their own challenges. Kevin meets some of the people with MND he has helped and inspired along the way and speaks openly about his motivation and how he’s changed as a person. He was awarded an OBE in January 2022 and given a special award at BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2022.

There were some stories which scratched a surface and didn't delve much deeper which I would have liked but there was a lot to cram in I guess. Come down the travelators, exit Sainsbury's, turn right and follow the pedestrianised walkway to Crown Walk and turn right - and Coles will be right in front of you. This fantastic book documents an incredibly selfless man and his growth as an individual and his recent stunning feats for Rob and many other affected by MND.We know the human body can adapt remarkably to physical stress but these runs were gobsmacking distances, bonkers challenges to normal folk. This would be easy to pick up for somebody who thinks sports are not for them, it isn't alienating all. As we know, he hit upon running seven marathons in seven days, a figure revolving around Burrow’s shirt number. The Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association (IMNDA, CHY 8510) is the only organisation of its kind in the country. Our previous challenges have shown how much this country cares and we hope you can support us once again.

Sinfield's epic challenges have included running 7 ultra marathons in 7 days, and running over 101 miles in 24 hours. That something was three body-sapping long distance endurance events which would have broken a lesser competitive spirit. A world class rugby league player, an excellent leader, a fabulous coach but all in all the best of friends.Fascinating insight into not only what drives him but is an honest look at what has made the legend that is Sir Kev. We support NHS staff to deliver the best care for over a million patients and their families each year. If thoughts of young people growing fat and idle in a rugby-less void is rather depressing, the reader’s mood is lifted by Sinfield’s remarkable charity work for his former team-mate Rob Burrow and the MND community.
