As we head into day 4 of Sir Kevin Sinfield’s #7in7GrandFinale challenge, we wanted to show some love for these two legends: Chris and Dave. 🧡 Chris and Dave run EVERY SINGLE LEG of this week-long challenge alongside Sir Kev, and are flanked by an equally incredible team of cyclists and supporting crew. Why do they do it? Well, for same reason as Sir Kev - for a mate. Thank you Chris, Dave and the whole 7 in 7 team for everything you are doing for our community. 🧡🙌 To donate. 🔗 mndassoc.org/7in7grandfinale

Today we mourn the loss of a true sporting icon, Sir Billy Boston, who has passed away surrounded by his family. Rugby League’s first knight, a Wigan legend, and "Everybody's Hero," his legacy on and off the field will endure for eternity. Rest in peace, Sir Billy. 🍒⚪️
