The Extra Mile: The Inspirational Number One Bestseller

Product Information

What he and a small group of friends, along with the wider sporting family, did has changed the landscape for this awful disease. He is the best of men ― The Telegraph --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. We played three 20-minute blocks and I spent the whole hour playing as well as I could but also encouraging everyone around me. That something was three body-sapping long distance endurance events which would have broken a lesser competitive spirit.

Kevin is going from strength to strength, this is just the start I’m sure there will be a follow up at some point.What a modest guy who is surrounded by family and friends enabling him to have a great career and then raise awareness for such a cruel condition such as MND, a true champion.

With your help, we can build a state-of-the-art MND Care Centre, to give people with MND and their families the best possible care and support. A very British hero, the unassuming yet utterly superb Kevin Sinfield – rugby league great turned rugby union coach turned charity fundraiser, all while carrying a torch for the true meaning of sport and friendship. We support NHS staff to deliver the best care for over a million patients and their families each year. A rare memoir where the anuthor’s achievements that first made him famous (rugby), aren’t the majority of the book.I brought my copy at one of Kevin’s book signings, he’s just as friendly in person as he comes across in the book! The plan for our fourth challenge, the '7 in 7 in 7 Challenge' is to run 7 ultra marathons in 7 cities in 7 days with an extra mile each day that will show our support for the MND community. The tasks he has completed are unimaginable to an amateur sportsman and I read with awe of commitment to running the Ultra 7 whilst effectively on annual leave from Leicester Tigers. For the MND community, every second counts and we will be making the most of every step on this challenge to raise awareness, funds and support for that community. The Century list includes brand-name novelists such as James Patterson, Karin Slaughter, Lisa Jewell and Katie Fforde, and we are also proud to be publishing compelling and powerful debut novels such as Wool by Hugh Howey and Until You?

Including building a specialist Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Care Centre in Leeds, to give people living with MND the best quality of life. The story of his life, him growing up, him finding his love for rugby and his colleagues especially Rob is inspiring.

Union followers not familiar with Sinfield’s league career will learn plenty from his recently released autobiography, The Extra Mile, published by Century. Both played together for the dominant Leeds Rhino rugby league team in the first 15 years or so of this century. Perhaps rightly, and not surprisingly, Kev attributes the majority to his fundraising efforts - but not told for self-appreciation or back-patting. A one-club legend of Leeds Rhinos, who has now crossed codes as a defence coach for Leicester Tigers, Kevin Sinfield is a rugby icon.

Century was founded in 1981 and immediately established itself as an exceptionally dynamic publisher of bestselling authors, a tradition continued to this day. His aim was to provide a future for Rob's family and make governments and the money men be held accountable for broken promises and deafening silences. It’s been an incredible week meeting so many members of the MND community from across the UK and Ireland. In autumn 2022, Sinfield embarked on his hardest endurance challenge yet, running 7 ultra marathons in 7 days, and raising almost GBP2 million for MND in the process. I felt the flow of the book ebbed away towards the end - which is in no way a reflection of the man himself, just the way this was written and presented.

When the same thing happened at another event soon after, with Burrow unable to say words with an ‘s’ in them, like ‘solicitor’ and ‘necessity’, he knew something was amiss.
