I have just seen a segment on BBC breakfast about rugby player Rob Burrow who was diagnosed with MND a couple of years ago and the support he has had from his best mate and former team player Kevin Sinfield. Tomorrow they do a marathon together for Rob.

What simply amazing and inspirational people these are. I have never come across Rob’s story before and now I feel incredibly moved by it all.

Good luck if you are running the marathon tomorrow.

It's incredible isn't it. I watched this on our local news this week:

Such a lovely family, so heartbreaking what's happened to him. I know a few people running tomorrow. Good luck to everyone doing it.
