Sir Kev, through the years. 🧡

I must confess to being a bit emotional this morning at the news of a knighthood for Kevin Sinfield. I’ve always called him ‘Sir Kev’ and it’s hard to think of a man more deserving. He showed us all what it is to be a friend. What it means to step up when people need you and he did it all for his mate ❤️ After he carried Rob across the line in the Leeds marathon someone sent me this poem anonymously and I kept it on my phone. They called it ‘Arise Sir Kev’… When shadows gathered, and hearts would break Kev knew it was time to take… One step, another, through wind and rain, Carrying hope, despite the pain. He never stopped, mile after mile, Driven by loyalty, strength… a smile. For Rob, his friend, he aim was true Showing us all, what friendship can do. Not measured in trophies, applause, or fame… But turning up, again and again. And in every mile he chose to run, He showed us how friendship is truly done.

Team LDN 2026, take a bow. To every single person who ran for the fight against motor neurone disease, you’ve done an amazing thing. You should be so proud of yourselves. 241 runners took to the course, supported by a sea of supporters across 2 cheerpoints, a post-race reception, and throughout the track. To everyone who made today what it was and contributed to the phenomenal amount of money raised—thank you. 🧡

Tune it to @ITV at 17:45 this evening to see @katelawler compete on Celebrity Catchphrase in aid of the fight against motor neurone disease. 🧡 We can't wait to see how she got on. 👀 #CelebrityCatchphrase

We're so sorry to hear this sad news - our sympathies are with Geoff's family and everyone @LeedsRhinos who has worked so closely with the Burrow family over so many years.

With motor neurone disease, every minute matters. That’s why we’re delighted that the Government has committed to introducing a fast‑track passport for people with MND, helping them access vital support services more quickly. Zoe, who has MND and worked closely with the team behind this important win, has shared her reflections.

The biggest annual conference dedicated to motor neurone disease research in the world will be held in Amsterdam this December. Hosted by the MND Association for the 37th year, we’ll bring together the world’s leading MND scientists to share progress. Read more below.

A new fast‑track passport for people with MND is at the heart of recommended health and social care reforms announced yesterday. We’ve worked with the Commission and our community to shape these proposals through lived experience. Explore the work so far and read more. 🔗

Our Head of Research, Dr Nick Cole, features in a new BBC documentary exploring a possible link between rugby and neurological conditions. 'Ben Youngs investigates: How safe is rugby?' is available to watch now on BBC iPlayer and screens on BBC One at 22:45 on Tuesday 3 March.

A week ago today, we marked the start of a new chapter for the MND Association at a launch event alongside our Royal Patron, HRH The Princess Royal, people with MND and our supporters. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening so meaningful. 🔗mndassociation.org/media/lat…
