To bring some Christmas Cheer!

Another amazing effort from Kevin Sinfield who just ran 101 miles in 24hours to raise money for MND and Rob Burrow. His latest effort has added 1million pounds to the 2.7million he raised last year running 7 marathons in 7 days. We often read a lot of crap about dumb players doing dumb things but here’s one who is doing amazing things!

Bumping this thread, there's hundreds of bad news threads but surely there's more good stuff we can share about the great game.

For those that missed the latest mate doing it for your mate. Sinfield is a special bloke for sure.

Good intentions but will it really work?

Thurston and his crew have an uphill battle.

Much better to try than do nothing. It would be easy for Thurston to kick back and count his money, but using his profile to help others is a good thing, not to mention a fair chunk of time I'd imagine.

Debuted as a 16 year old. Had an incredible career.

Good on him

Should have been Knighted, the pair of them, especially when you consider those that have been instead. As with most things linked to Politics though, the honours system is poisoned with self-interest, dodgy deals and cronyism.
