Paul Ehlert - Words can't describe what Kevin Sinfield has achieved, but it’s now for the Government to act and get him a knighthood. Over £3.7m now raised from two challenges, plus £50m over the next five years from the Government for MND. If Sir Kev hadn’t of done these challenges, would the Government have paid up? Probably not.
