Rob will be with me throughout London Marathon: Lindsey Burrow

London, Apr 25 (UNI) Lindsey Burrow says her late husband Rob "will be with me throughout" when she runs the London Marathon on Sunday.
Mother-of-three Burrow, 42, is running in memory of former rugby league great Rob, who died in June 2024 after being diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND) in 2019.
She will also run the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon two weeks later to continue raising money for the Leeds Rhinos Foundation and Leeds Hospitals Charity.
"He will be in spirit with me throughout the whole run, in my head saying 'come on run faster, you can do this'," Burrow told BBC Yorkshire.
"As I lace up my trainers I'll definitely be thinking of Rob and the MND community. That is ultimately why I am running the race, to make Rob proud."
Rob's MND diagnosis came two years after he retired from a stellar 17-year career at Leeds Rhinos, during which he made almost 500 appearances and won 13 trophies.
With the help of former team-mate and close friend Kevin Sinfield, they raised more than £15 million for MND charities as Rob battled the disease himself. Both men were awarded CBEs in the 2024 New Year Honours.
"Rob will will be at the forefront of my mind. It will be emotional but I'm looking forward to it," said Burrow, who will run the 26.2 miles alongside her brother Mark.
