What's Happening?
Prince William has praised Kevin Sinfield for his dedication to raising funds and awareness for motor neurone disease (MND) through his ultramarathon challenge. Sinfield, a former rugby league star, embarked
on a mission to run seven ultramarathons in seven days, raising over £1 million for MND charities. This effort is in honor of his late friend and former teammate, Rob Burrow, who was diagnosed with MND in 2019. Sinfield's challenge, named '7 in 7: Together', aims to support research and treatment for the disease. Prince William acknowledged Sinfield's commitment and the impact of his efforts on social media.
