Prince William leads tributes to Sir Kevin Sinfield in new BBC documentary

Prince William has told the BBC that awarding Sir Kevin Sinfield his knighthood was “probably the easiest decision that anyone’s ever had to make”.

The Prince of Wales leads the tributes to the inspirational former Rugby League player who has raised £13 millions of pounds over seven years for motor neurone disease (MND) charities.

In 2020, Sinfield went for a run after his friend and teammate Rob Burrow was diagnosed with motor neurone disease.

He aimed to raise £77,777 for Rob and his family, a sum set to recognise Burrow’s number seven shirt. But just a week later, he had raised more than £2 million. It was the first of seven astonishing challenges over the next six years, which included seven ultramarathons in seven days and 101 miles in 24 hours.
