Royal Greets Kevin Sinfield in York During Second Day of MND Ultra-Marathon Challenge
Sinfield’s seven-day challenge has raised more than £500,000 so far for motor neurone disease charities, with the Princess Royal joining the York leg.
- On Monday, September 28, 2026, fundraiser Sir Kevin Sinfield arrived at the University of York Athletics Track for his '7 in 7: The Grand Finale' challenge, where The Princess Royal greeted him.
- This year's event marks Sir Kevin's seventh endurance venture, inspired by former Leeds Rhinos teammate Rob Burrow, who died in 2024 after living with Motor Neurone Disease for four-and-a-half years.
- Former England rugby captain Lewis Moody and other MND community members joined the fundraiser for an 'extra mile' event, which Sir Kevin described as the 'best part' of the challenge.
- Supporters have pledged more than £500,000 for this year's effort, contributing to the more than £11 million raised since 2020 to help people understand MND and receive help quicker.
- The week-long challenge visits 12 English Betfred Super League clubs, culminating on the pitch at Old Trafford before the Super League Grand Final, where Sinfield's son Jack will play.
