Rugby ace Kevin Sinfield has sent a video message of support to a Burnley farmer and a group of his friends who are planning to tackle the challenge of a lifetime this weekend.

In the heart warming clip Kevin asks the public to support Neil Worswick, a third generation farmer at Tattersalls Farm in Hurstwood, who will hike up Helvellyn Striding Edge Mountain on Saturday in aid of the Motor Neurone Disease Association. The mission means a lot to Kevin as his best pal and fellow rugby player Rob Burrow recently died of the cruel disease that also robbed Neil’s dad Allan of his life at the age of 60.

” With Neil as one of the main driving forces behind the hiking group, it started out almost accidentally in 2020. While Leeds based hiker Zac Berrycloth’s late mum was battling dementia the group hiked Ben Nevis to raise £3,600 for the Alzheimer’s Society. In 2021 they conquered Snowdon in Wales, for the MSA Society in memory of the father in law of one of the hikers who had died from the disease. Seventeen people took part and they raised £2,800.
