**Rugby star Sir Kevin Sinfield has been celebrated with an eye-catching tribute
in Leeds city centre in recognition of his remarkable fundraising work. **

To mark Yorkshire Day (1 August), Trinity Leeds shopping centre has installed a 
5m x 5m printed image of the Leeds Rhinos and Super League star beneath its glass
dome, part of its support for his upcoming challenge.

The tribute comes shortly after Sinfield received a long-awaited knighthood and 
ahead of the final instalment of his celebrated fundraising efforts. He has so far
raised a remarkable **£11 million** for Motor Neurone Disease charities in memory
of his close friend and former teammate Rob Burrow, who died from MND in 2024.

## 7 in 7: The Grand Finale

In September, Sinfield will take on “7 in 7: The Grand Finale,” running an ultra-
marathon every day for seven days and visiting all 12 English Super League grounds
before finishing at Old Trafford ahead of the Betfred Super League Grand Final. 
Funds raised will be shared between the Motor Neurone Disease Association, the Irish
Motor Neurone Disease Association, the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, MND Scotland,
Leeds Hospitals Charity and The Darby Rimmer MND Foundation.

As part of the Yorkshire Day celebrations, a “wall of support” between M&S and ROX
will invite fans to leave messages of encouragement on rugby shirt-themed cards 
from 9am to 5pm, with QR codes on hand for donations.

Sinfield said it was “a real honour” to feature in Yorkshire Day at Trinity Leeds,
adding that Leeds and Yorkshire would “always be incredibly special places” and 
that the backing of local people would mean a great deal as he set off on the challenge.
