Rob Burrow Leeds MND centre opens doors
The new centre is a specialist facility at Seacroft Hospital in Leeds for patients with MND and their families.
The centre cost about £6.8m to build and was funded by a public appeal by Leeds Hospitals Charity, with more than 17,000 individuals and organisations donating to the scheme..
A large chunk of the fundraising was done by Rob Burrow's best friend, fellow rugby player Kevin Sinfield who undertook a series of gruelling challenges, including running seven marathons in seven days.
As well as medical and clinical facilities, the centre will also offer a holistic space for patients and their families, with a wellness garden, reflection and reading areas and a memorial zone.
