Kevin Sinfield: 'The team are a little bit tired, a little bit busted'

England defence coach Kevin Sinfield said his marathon run in the Dublin rain on Tuesday will live long in the memory. The former Leeds rugby league player is running seven marathons in seven days around the UK and Ireland to raise awareness and funds to tackle the motor neuron disease that affects his former Rhinos teammate Rob Burrow.

His run in Dublin – from Croke Park, the GAA stadium, to Aviva Stadium – is his fifth marathon of seven, a schedule that has seen him complete run in Leeds, Cardiff, Birmingham and Edinburgh.

After finishing in Ireland, where he did part of the run in the company of former RTE reporter Charlie Bird and ex-rugby players Gordon D’Arcy, Keith Earls and Ian Madigan, Sinfield will head to Brighton on Wednesday before completing his challenge in London on Thursday by running from Twickenham to The Mall.

    Before he set off in the rain on Tuesday at Croke Park to the strains of Molly Malone, Sinfield spent some time in the company of MND sufferer Bird and he said in his pre-run speech: “It’s an honour for us to be here.

    “This is day five. As you can probably imagine, the team are a little bit tired, a little bit busted but actually really looking forward to running in Dublin, looking forward to running with Charlie. We’ve been following your story for some time, Charlie, it’s incredible what you have done.

    “Over the last three years, we have run in some pretty special places and through the work of Dodie (Weir) in particular back in the UK. Hopefully, we have added to that in Rob’s name and are showing people how beautiful the MND community are. They need our support.

    “We found out the numbers that are in Ireland, the numbers that are worldwide – MND doesn’t pick locations, it’s everywhere so we have got to fight it together and that is part of why we are over here. We are absolutely honoured to be in Ireland.

    “Thank you for your hospitality, thank you for having us. We got in late last night (Monday) and everyone has been so kind and welcoming. Although we are only here a short time, it will be one that sticks with us for a very long time.”

    Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

    My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
