- Yorkshire artist Cath Muir who is battlering motor neurone disease (MND) honored Rob Burrow by designing Leeds Rhinos special shirts they wore on friday while playing with Leigh Leopards which was their first match at home since rob burrow passed away.
The kits features an image of Burrow alongside Kevin Sinfield, along with the slogans "it's all about friendship" and "together shoulder to shoulder".
it was said that portion of the profit from each shirt sold will be donated to the Leeds Hospitals Charity appeal to build the Rob Burrow Centre for MND.
Cath Muir talked about her struggle with MND and paid tribute to Rob Burrow. She said,
"I was diagnosed with MND just over 10 years ago. There have been some upsetting times since then, but I decided to live the best life I could, and fundraising has helped me stay positive.
"It is very important to talk about MND because ten years ago it was hardly heard of. Since Rob Burrow bravely told the world about his diagnosis, people have started to understand much more. We still need to beat the drum for MND and keep raising funds for new treatments."
One of the biggest Headingley crowds in recent years will witness a variety of tributes to Burrow, who died earlier this month after a valiant battle with MND, on a date coinciding with Global MND Awareness Day.
Cath continued,
"It will be very exciting watching Leeds Rhinos play in the charity shirts that I designed. I'm sure a lot will be posted about Global MND Awareness Day on social media, bringing it to the forefront of people's minds."
Cath was diagnosed with MND 10 years ago and since her diagnosis, she and her sister Ruth have completed a number of challenges together for the MND Association.
Cath is a fundraiser, local group member and campaigner for the charity and is close to raising £100,000.
