The extraordinary memoir of the sporting icon, devoted friend and fundraising hero who has inspired the nation in his fight against MND.

'An inspirational and life-affirming read. What Kevin Sinfield has achieved on and off the field is truly remarkable. His inspiring leadership and relentless focus on fundraising for MND shows how we should all strive to care more for each other' Gareth Southgate

The Extra Mile is no ordinary sports memoir. But Kevin Sinfield is no ordinary sportsman. A one-club legend of Leeds Rhinos, who has now crossed codes as a defence coach for Leicester Tigers, Kevin Sinfield is a rugby icon. But in recent years has shown heroism of a very different kind through his selfless and extraordinary fundraising for Motor neurone disease (MND), the terminal illness that has affected his best mate and former teammate Rob Burrow.

Sinfield's epic challenges have included running 7 marathons in 7 days, and running over 101 miles in 24 hours. In the process, Sinfield has captured the hearts of the nation and raised nearly £5 million for MND. He was awarded an OBE in the Queen's Birthday honours for his efforts.

Told with Sinfield's characteristic warmth, dry wit and inspirational leadership, The Extra mile is the story of an astonishing life, of an enduring friendship, of perseverance against the most difficult of challenges, and of a remarkable, humble human being who has defied the odds. The book equips readers with the tools and the mindset to embrace togetherness and to overcome their own challenges. It leaves the reader with the urgent question: Who would you go the extra mile for to help in life?

MND struck our family 14 years ago and not a day goes by without it still affecting us. Kevin Sinfield with his mates and in particular Rob Burrow have shone a much needed light on this illness. This book is very emotional but shows that true values of a person are what really matters. A mate for a mate.

Great Honest Listening. Sinfield is a Legend

The love and dedication Kev has put into his career, his family, his mates and particularly Rob, and to the the MND foundation is nothing but inspirational.

In Leeds, Kev, or Sir Kev as we lovingly call him has been a legend and loved for many years and I knew his story. Listening to it, read by Kev himself has only further affirmed the awe I have for his dedication.

Sir Kev, simply put, an absolute inspiration and proper mate
