Growing up in the North Rugby League was in my blood, I remember pestering my dad for months to let me go watch his beloved Hull FC at the Boulevard Ground. The minute I stepped in I was captivated, the rickety old turnstiles, the paint chipped from the terraces and lush green grass got me hooked - I had found my church ⛪ ! But what I loved the most was how much people loved the game, not just their own team but an admiration for up and coming talent on both sides, exceptional ball handling skills or a 40:20 kick on the last.... it was heady stuff. But the biggest love of all was that Rugby League was a community itself, part of the fabric of northern life, woven invisibly into conversations at Sunday Lunch, at the core of factory work banter or analysed kick by kick- pass by pass in the pub. As it was announced last night that the incredible Rob Burrow had passed away, it got me thinking about how Rob's journey with MND. Not only did it showcase the incredible strength of the Rugby League Community but the resilience of the man himself - his values and his approach we could all learn so much from. Love: Loving what you do, the people in your life - it matters immensely. Life is precious and far too short to filling your time with the stuff that you do not enjoy. I know it sounds simple, but be conscious in your decision making and really as yourself is this something that I love? 😍 Friendship : In life we all need allies, the people who will be part of our troop - create the space safes to be our authenticate self and keep picking us up when we are rock bottom and celebrating your success. Rob's relationship with Kevin Sinfield has been widely publicised, but only true friends would do what Kev did for Rob 💓 Taking the Path of Most Resistance 🏔: Sometimes taking the easiest route out of a problem or overcoming a challenge feels like an appealing option. But to break new ground, to achieve greatest impact the hard stuff wins. There is no doubt in my mind that Rob lived 5 years post diagnosis by not taking the easy option. Creating a Burning Platform 🔥: When Rob was diagnosed with MND he was determined with use it for a force of good, raising millions of £ to aid better research, campaigning and services for people diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease I will certainly be keeping this in my mind when working with The Community Navigator 🗺 clients this week... So next time you feel you need to mix things up lets chat.... lets all be a little bit more Rob! Sending lots of love to the Burrow Family and the wider Rugby League Community 💙 💛
We’re deeply saddened to learn of the death of our patron Rob Burrow CBE. Rob lived with motor neurone disease in the public eye after choosing to announce his diagnosis in 2019. We will be forever grateful to Rob. Sharing his journey with this disease inspired so many people both within the MND community and the wider public. Our thoughts today are with Rob’s wife Lindsey, children Macy, Maya and Jackson, family, friends and the rugby league community.
