Rob Burrow, the courageous former Leeds Rhinos star and MND campaigner, recorded a deeply moving final message for his supporters before he passed away, encouraging them to "be brave", "live in the moment" and to continue "to dare to dream".
The touching speech was broadcast as part of a BBC tribute to the rugby legend who sadly died on Sunday. In his final days, Rob, with characteristic humility, described himself as "just a lad from Yorkshire who got to live out his dream", but to many, he was an inspirational figure far beyond the rugby pitch due to his relentless work for MND charities. He also called on scientists to keep searching for a cure for the devastating disease.
Despite battling MND, Rob continued to communicate and share his thoughts using an eye-gaze machine, which enabled him to speak by selecting words on a screen that were then voiced by a computer. In his poignant last words featured in the BBC documentary, Rob expressed his hope for a future without MND: "I hope one day we find a cure and live in a world free of MND. By the time that you watch this I will no longer be here.
I am just a lad from Yorkshire who got to live out his dream of playing Rugby League," reports the Mirror. He also shared his personal reflections on the impact of his diagnosis, especially as a father: "As a father of three young children I would never want any family to have to go through what my family have since my diagnosis. I hope I have left a mark on the disease.
I hope it shows to live in the moment. I hope you find inspiration from the whole story." "My final message to you is whatever your personal battle be brave and face it. Every single day is precious.
