Kevin Sinfield’s can-do spirit embodies Queen’s Birthday Honours – The Yorkshire Post says

This county would certainly be a diminished one without the humanity and endeavour of the dozens of people, from all walks of life, whose commitment, and sacrifice in some extraordinary cases, has received a Royal seal of approval today.

In their own spheres, they have all gone the extra mile – just like Leeds Rhinos legend Kevin Sinfield who receives an OBE after running seven marathons on successive days last winter in the wake of his much-loved team-mate Rob Burrow being diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease.

This extraordinary effort raised £2m for research into the illness and epitomises this region’s famed can-do spirit as Sinfield, and so many others, continue to lead by example. We salute them all.
