Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

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?

Being a fan of rugby union is embarrassing to not know the league names. That is until the name Sir Kev turns up. The guts and determination of that man is astonishing.

What a inspirational man

A gorgeous listen. Humbling, inspiring, moving and with plenty of self-deprecating humour. Kevin’s story of determination and selflessness is heartening.

Kevin Sinfield was a joy to watch on a rugby pitch and a complete gentleman off it, the world needs more Sir Kevs. I’ve watched Leeds Rugby/ Rhinos from the age of 6, I’m now 62, Never was there a more inspirational leader of a team than Kevin. Thanks for sharing Kev
