This one makes me sad, the death of a true sporting legend, Rugby League player Rob Burrow from MND just five years after being diagnosed. 

 

I know most on here will have no idea who he is or even what rugby league is but his story from playing career to his I'll health after retiring is quite inspirational.

 

For those that can access it, here is a documentary that was made after his diagnosis.

So sad when I heard the news this morning.

A small man with a big big heart.

 

RIP Rob.
