Kevin Sinfield defies injury to complete latest MND quest as donations pass £1m

Kevin Sinfield defied a serious muscle injury to smash through the million-pound barrier on the final day of his latest fundraising quest in aid of the Motor Neurone Disease community.

The former Leeds Rhinos star pushed through driving rain to reach Saddleworth in the final leg of his ‘Running Home for Christmas Challenge’, shortly after total donations soared into seven figures.

But Sinfield’s physiotherapist Dave O’Sullivan revealed how the 44-year-old had shrugged off medical opinion in order to complete his set of seven ultra marathons in seven days, including stops in all four corners of the United Kingdom.
