What a terrible illness MND is and how very brave Rob and his family have been by raising awareness while dealing with it.
He was so young as are his family.
They should be very proud of him.
RIP Rob.
Sincere condolences to his family and wonderful friends.

Rest in peace Rob, what a brave and inspirational man. His loss to his wife and family and Kevin, to everyone will be great. He will never be replaced and be sorely missed.

RIP Rob Burrow.
I have just heard on the news that Rob and Kevin raised 15 million pounds in the last 5 years for MND.
Rob had such a big heart, thinking of fellow sufferers not himself.
A very special person and he will be greatly missed by his family and friends.

So so sad. He was a real inspiration.

Two of our daughters have a friend who has this dreadful disease. He has set up a charity to raise money for research. Our girls, who have both inherited my fear of heights, recently abseiled of a viaduct to raise money.
