On 22 November 2021, Kevin Sinfield set off on his Extra Mile Challenge. The aim, to run 101 miles from the home of Leicester Tigers to the home of Leeds Rhinos for his friend and former teammate Rob Burrow and others living with motor neurone disease. 

He did it in 24 hours with no sleep. Hoards of friends and fans lined the streets to show their support and Rob and his family were there to meet him.

Kevin was aiming to raise £100,000, which will be split equally between the MND Association and the appeal to build The Rob Burrow Centre for Motor Neurone Disease in Leeds. At the time of making this programme, the total stood at over £2M.
