Former Leeds Rhinos player Rob Burrow was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in December 2019. Since then, Rob and his family have campaigned tirelessly to raise awareness and funds to support other families living with MND.
The Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon will see 7,777 participants take on a brand new route through Leeds that starts and finishes at Headingley Stadium. Taking in some of Leeds’ most scenic countryside and outer suburbs, the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon will be a fitting tribute to the city that launched Rob’s career and which he calls home.
This is an event that truly is for everyone, so whether you are an experienced runner or have never thought about running an event before, we welcome all abilities to join us in 2024 for this very special event.
Participants can choose to support any charity that they wish to.
Doctors of the World UK is part of a global network of 17 Médecins du Monde partners; between us we are delivering over 400 projects in more than 70 countries. We help vulnerable people to access medical care – wherever and whoever they are. We work to respond to disasters and emergencies overseas, whilst also making sure that vulnerable people right here in the UK are receiving medical care and treatment via our CQC registered clinic, outreach teams and helpline. All delivered by our team of volunteer doctors and nurses supported by our expert staff. We are here to help everyone access medical care, and many of those we support in the UK are asylum seekers or refugees. Alongside this direct practical support, we campaign tirelessly to make changes to the systems that are preventing our clients from accessing the care they need.
