Rob Burrow launches surprising new initiative to raise money for MND

Rob Burrow has taken another fundraising step by announcing a surprising Strictly Come Dancing show for Motor Neurone Disease.

It will all be in the name of the MND Association as Burrow continues to try and raise as much money as possible against the horrific disease, recruiting a number of celebrities to pick up their dancing shoes and get on that wooden floor.

How good would it be to see Barrie McDermott flaunt a few shapes on the dancefloor?

Lots of celebrities already signed up to dance. Please follow for updates. All in the name of the Rob Burrow centre for MND @Burrow_strictly

Burrow’s battle against Motor Neurone Disease and his subsequent fight to raise as much money as possible has largely fallen on the shoulders of long-term friend Kevin Sinfield who not only completed seven marathons in seven days but ran 101 miles in just 24 hours, raising over £4 million in total.

However, there have been a number of other people who have tried to help the MND cause, with the likes of Martyn Clarke, who successfully completed seven half-Ironman challenges in seven days.

An Ironman challenge consists of a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bicycle ride and a marathon 26.22-mile run, raced in that order.

Of course, Clarke did half of that which consisted of a 1.2-mile swim, 56-mile cycle and 13.1-mile run.

Clarke did that a remarkable seven times, consecutively, to raise money for Rob Burrow and the Motor Neurone Disease Association.

I’m sure a number of people in the rugby league fraternity cannot wait to see who Jo and Claire have roped in to dance!
