Books Celebrity Biographies 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 defensive coach for the England national rugby union team, Kevin Sinfield is a rugby icon. But in recent years has shown heroism of a very different kind through his selfless & extraordinary fundraising for motor neurone disease (MND), the terminal illness that has affected his best mate & former teammate Rob Burrow. Sinfield's epic challenges have included running 7 ultra marathons in 7 days, & running over 101 miles in 24 hours. In the process, Sinfield has captured the hearts of the nation & over £7 million for MND. He was awarded an OBE in the Queen's Birthday honours for his efforts, along with the Freedom of Leeds & a special BBC Award for his fundraising. Told with Sinfield's characteristic warmth, dry wit & inspirational leadership, The Extra Mile is the story of an astonishing life, of an enduring friendship, of perseverance against the most difficult of challenges, & of a remarkable, humble human being who has defied the odds. The book equips readers with the tools & the mindset to embrace togetherness & to overcome their own challenges.
