- In December 2019, just two years after retiring from his professional rugby league career, Rob Burrow received the devastating diagnosis that he had motor neurone disease (MND). At the time, Rob was given two years at most to live, but nearly four years on he’s determined to continue defying the odds. With Lindsey by his side as his full time carer, the family have now raised £13 million for motor neurone disease charities. Alongside Rob's former team-mate Kevin Sinfield, the couple were awarded the Special Recognition Award at this year’s Pride of Britain Awards. Lindsey joins us to raise awareness of MND and discuss the realities of being Rob’s full-time carer whilst supporting her children and maintaining a job, as well as the power of remaining positive - whatever the circumstances.

Lindsay is an absolute saint. her life is so incredibly tough, but she faces every adversity with a smile. Absolute champion of a lady
Must be hard for Lindsey losing Rob, at least he’s now in a safe place!! Thoughts and prayers are with his family at this very difficult time!!! 😢😢
I think this woman is amazing. All my respect to her and her family. The only thing I cannot help commenting is that I think portraying such difficult situations as all positive can be difficult to watch for people with terminal illness as I doubt that Rob is doing very well all the time. I am sure he has very tough days like anyone else with a terminal illness. I am sure the family every now and then falls apart, it would be inhuman not to. What I am saying is that positivity is admirable but that is only part of the story and not the whole story…I do wish this family all the best.
How I agree with you. My husband is in the advanced stage of MND, and I have not had any carers in to help me yet, and I’m finding it all extremely difficult. He can’t do anything for himself, and I get very stressed as I’m nearly 80. My poor husband very rarely complains, and I try to hide the stress from him, but I can’t always manage it, because I’m only human. God help him.
I live in Italy. My nephew Carmine has MND. He was diagnosed in July 2019.
He is 46 and has 3 children and a wonderful wife called Nunzia.
They are in the same situation and all my admiration and prayers go out to you. My husband Peppe and I have seen what this terrible disease does.
What a genuinely lovely woman. I can’t imagine a loved one having this evil cruel disease. Literally trapped in ur own body. Most people would give up straight away but how rob has carried on n on is a huge inspiration what a guy. ❤
Such a beautiful lady and such a beautiful family and a classy friend in Kevin , may your beautiful soul rest in peace Rob.
Heartbreaking and heart warming. Bless them both.
She really is an incredible woman ❤

Such a tragic time. For robs family may godless you aii x
Hero❤😢
I know nothing about rugby but I do know about character and Rob had it in spades. And what a lovely, lovely wife and family he has. All the best.
What a beautiful couple. I believe that this is real marriage. In sickness and health. Anyone there for the tougher times is the only kind of person you ever need.
Rob’s book is amazing. I hope Lindsey writes her own book soon that chronicles her own personal struggle through Rob’s diagnosis.
Amazing lady. Heartbreaking what happened to Rob......R.I.P ❤
What a beautiful family ❤️
What a strong woman. Rob married one of the best. Sorry for her loss and wish her and family all the best in the future.
Rest in peace dear Rob and look 🙏 after your beautiful family ❤️

Господи, помоги Бобу и его волшебной жене Линдси.
Rest in peace Rob ❤
