Rob Burrow, a celebrated rugby league player and advocate for motor

neurone disease (MND), left a lasting legacy. His wife, Lindsey,

shared that Rob recorded video messages for their children to be played at future milestones.

Lindsey expressed pride in Rob, who became the face of MND awareness,

leaving an incredible impact. The family received widespread support after his passing,

including a message from Prince William. Together since their teens, Rob and

Lindsey married in 2006 and have three children: Macy, Maya, and Jackson.

Using a device translating eye movements into text, Rob recorded birthday wishes

and heartfelt messages. Though too emotional to watch immediately, Lindsey cherishes

his thoughtful gestures. Diagnosed with MND two years after retiring, Rob raised

over £15 million for MND charities with help from his friend Kevin Sinfield.

Appointed a CBE in 2024, Rob’s legacy continues to inspire. Lindsey’s BBC interview

on Global MND Awareness Day highlighted his profound impact and the ongoing importance of his mission.
