(Reuters) - Former Leeds Rhinos and England captain Kevin Sinfield has completed seven marathons in seven days to raise over 1 million pounds ($1.3 million) in support of the Motor Neurone Disease Association and his former team mate Rob Burrow, who suffers from the condition.

Burrow won eight Super League titles with Leeds before retiring in 2017 and was diagnosed with motor neurone disease last year.
