It aims is to raise awareness and funds for Leeds Hospitals Charity's appeal to build the Rob Burrow Centre for MND.The number seven is significant as it was Mr Burrow's rugby league shirt number for Leeds Rhinos, who he played for over a 16-year period. Mr Burrow said: "The new centre will have a lasting legacy for people diagnosed today, and in years to come. It will be a haven for patients and their families - a peaceful environment with the best possible care, helping them to live in the now.Katie Dowson said her dad's physical deterioration stopped him doing the things he really loved"I have too many reasons to live."

Others to feature in the exhibition include Katie Dowson, 39, from Ilkley, a digital director for the NHS who has raised more than £10,000 for charity after her father Warren died of MND in 2018.
