Prof
@23BenJones,
@TheRFL's Head of Performance Science and Research and Dr Gemma Phillips, the
#RFLโs Deputy Chief Medical Officer, provide an illuminating insight behind the scenes of KEVIN SINFIELD'S gruelling
#RunningHomeForChristmas Challenge...
"Our nutritionist
@JamesEPMoran meticulously manages his food and drink, to ensure Kevin is fuelled for the week. Kevin leads a determined team, who are there for a great cause, banging the drum for
#MND. As a team, we know what we need to do, but it was clear for everyone to see how physically demanding the challenge was for Kevin."
Dr Phillips commented: "One of the unique challenges this time was managing Kevinโs injury leading into the event. Before, and during the event, this was something myself, and the physiotherapist
@DaveyOSullivan worked closely on, to make sure Kevin was able to complete the challenge...."
