pesky1972 5,350 Posted June 2, 2024 Report Share Posted June 2, 2024 Wicked disease and a long lingering death. Wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. He bore it with much bravery, putting himself in the public eye when he was a shadow of what he’d once been. As said, hopefully his sacrifice, like that of big Doddie Weir, will bring about a cure sooner rather than later. RIP Rob Burrow. 7 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jok 3,325 Posted June 3, 2024 Report Share Posted June 3, 2024 As some of you might know I was at Doddies funeral and the wake at the heart of rugby, Melrose Greenyards. These guys and all who support the cause, be it family, friends, fellow players, deserve a lot of credit. I hear that three of Doddies pals and indeed fellow players are doing a Europe run to raise funds for the charity. Good on you guys. Jok. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
