KEVIN SINFIELD was among over 14,000 people participating at the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon on Sunday as fundraising efforts continued for his former Leeds Rhinos team-mate and the Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association.
Burrow was originally meant to join Sinfield at the 25-mile mark, but was unable to, due to warm weather and logistics.
