Oldham rugby legend Kevin Sinfield pledges his support
Oldham rugby legend Kevin Sinfield is gearing up for his next mammoth charity effort, after he vowed to raise money for the Ricky Casey Trust next month.
A friend of Kevin’s, Ricky was a much-loved Oldham firefighter who died of Renal Medullary Carcinoma (RMC) in 2019 – a rare and very aggressive form of kidney cancer.
Ricky’s family say they didn t get the support they needed because RMC wasn t widely researched and known about in the UK, so his wife Nicola set up the Ricky Casey Trust charity in October last year.
