Rob Burrow and Kevin Sinfield’s latest fundraising venture revealed

The cover for Rob Burrow and Kevin Sinfield’s upcoming book ‘Try’ has today been revealed, with people able to pre-order.

The pair were once simply known for their remarkable achievements on the field, winning seven Grand Finals, three World Club Challenges and three League Leaders’ Shields together.

However, Burrow and Sinfield have captured the hearts of the nation, and indeed the rugby world, over the past few years.

Since Rob Burrow was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease, the two have done admirable work to raise awareness and raise money to fight it.

Kevin Sinfield, alongside his unbelievable physical achievements, such as running 101 miles in 24 hours and doing ‘7 in 7’, wrote an autobiography to raise money.

Burrow also wrote an autobiography himself, titled ‘Too Many Reasons To Live’, which was nominated for Sports Book of the Year.

The two have, already, released a book together, which was called ‘With You Every Step: A Celebration of Friendship’.

Their upcoming release is called ‘Try’ and is, this time, a picture book aimed at younger readers.

The cover was revealed on social media on Wednesday.
