Kevin Sinfield is embarking on a further marathon to raise funds for the Motor Neurone Disease Association on the day he and former Leeds Rhinos team-mate Rob Burrow were named patrons of the charity.
Sinfield initially ran seven marathons in seven days in December to raise money to increase awareness of MND, after Burrow was diagnosed with the life-limiting condition 12 months earlier.
Sinfield’s ‘7 in 7’ challenge and the efforts of others inspired by it have now raised almost £3million, the association said.

Kathy Burke: Money Talks
10pm, Channel 4
The beloved comic Kathy Burke fronts this two-part documentary examining our peculiarly British relationship to money. Burke starts off by reuniting with her longtime comedy pals Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse to discuss the Thatcherite politics that provided the backdrop to their early sketches, before she goes to meet the millionaire Alfie Best and talks about his continual anxiety at losing his wealth. A visit to a “TikTok house” shows Burke a 21st-century method of getting rich.
