Work on new £6.8m Rob Burrow Centre for MND to start today following tragic death of Leeds Rhinos hero

It was announced yesterday that the former Leeds Rhinos star had died after a four-and-a-half-year battle with MND, an incurable condition that affects the brain and the nerves. Since then, mourners have gathered outside the club’s home at Headingley Stadium leaving a sea of floral tributes to the man who became an inspiring symbol of hope and friendship.

His smile would light up any room. He was a joy to be around.” The huge amount of money raised to build the centre followed a mammoth fundraising and awareness campaign led by Rob, along with former Leeds Rhinos captain Kevin Sinfield and Rob’s wife Lindsey. Architects drawings have showed how the completed centre will look, with an east and west wing housing the primary clinical spaces connected by a central atrium.
