Prince and Princess of Wales Surprise ‘Inspiring’ Sir Kevin Sinfield
The royal couple praised his seven-day endurance challenge, which has raised more than £11 million for motor neurone disease charities since 2020.
On Tuesday, the Prince and Princess of Wales surprised Sir Kevin Sinfield at DIY Kitchens Stadium in Wakefield, greeting him at the end of the third day of his seven-day endurance challenge.
Inspired by his late friend and former teammate Rob Burrow, Sinfield is completing an ultra marathon daily for seven days to raise funds for motor neurone disease charities.
Since 2020, the former rugby star and his team have raised more than £11 million for the MND community. The Princess of Wales told Sinfield, "What you're doing is so inspiring – the unity that you're building."
The royal couple met families affected by the disease and Rob Burrow's children, Macy, Maya, and Jackson. William joked about his busy schedule, telling families, "I've been dreading the moment Kev asked me."
Sinfield's challenge concludes at Old Trafford ahead of the Super League Grand Final. The Prince remarked that the upcoming match could be the club's first major win in 63 years.
