Sir Kevin Sinfield receives knighthood for MND advocacy and rugby services

Sir Kevin Sinfield was knighted by the Prince of Wales during a ceremony at Windsor Castle. Sinfield, a former England rugby league captain, has raised over £11 million for the motor neurone disease (MND) community. He expressed that his late friend Rob Burrow would be proud of the recognition. Sinfield plans to continue advocating for MND awareness and is considering organizing a run in Australia and New Zealand next year. The ceremony also honored Olympic triathlon champion Alistair Brownlee, who received an Officer of the Order of the British Empire title for his contributions to sport and charity.
