The Extra Mile: The Inspirational Number One Bestseller

Product Information

Sinfield continues to be a leader on and off the field, through his fundraising and now as defence coach for the England national rugby union team. He is one of the few individuals who has successfully crossed rugby codes. In autumn 2022, Sinfield embarked on his hardest endurance challenge yet, running 7 ultra marathons in 7 days, and raising almost ?2 million for MND in the process. In May 2023 he will run the inaugural Rob Burrow Leeds marathon, which he helped to found. The Extra Mile is no ordinary sports memoir. But Kevin Sinfield is no ordinary sportsman. A one-club legend of Leeds Rhinos, who has now crossed codes as a defense coach for Leicester Tigers, Kevin Sinfield is a rugby icon. But in recent years has shown heroism of a very different kind through his selfless and extraordinary fundraising for Motor neurone disease (MND), the terminal illness that has affected his best mate and former teammate Rob Burrow. My worry is that in 20 years there’s no rugby left and society has a much bigger problem with, for example, obesity.” The pair have seen millions of pounds raised for charity. From each sale of their new book, 50p will be split equally between the MND association and Leeds Hospital Charity. What he and a small group of friends, along with the wider sporting family, did has changed the landscape for this awful disease. So far he has raised over seven million pounds, ensuring his friend's family will be taken care of as well as enabling scientists to begin serious research into finding a cure and improving the quality of life for many others.

The 7-in-7-in-7 challenge will see Sinfield and his team run seven ultra marathons in seven days in seven cities around Great Britain and Ireland. The MND community have always given us incredible support and we wanted to find a way we could show that support for more people around the country.” If you're coming to Coles by car, why not take advantage of the 2 hours free parking at Sainsbury's Pioneer Square - just follow the signs for Pioneer Square as you drive into Bicester and park in the multi-storey car park above the supermarket.
