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.
The Tuberous Sclerosis Association (TSA) is the only UK charity focused on improving the lives of people affected by the rare genetic disorder Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC). Founded in 1977, the TSA’s mission is ‘To provide help for today and a cure for tomorrow’. We do this by:
Providing support and information to the TSC community, including the UK-wide TSA Support Line
Organising events and opportunities for the TSC community, allowing people affected by TSC to come together, learn and feel less alone
Funding internationally-significant research into all aspects of TSC, with research focused on what will have the greatest impact on life with TSC
Working closely with clinicians and other professionals focused on improving the lives of people affected by TSC
Campaigning on behalf of the TSC community to ensure consistent and meaningful access to health and social care provision
Thanks to the TSA, no-one affected by TSC should ever feel alone.
