It is with a heavy heart that we share the sad news of the passing of Rob Burrow CBE. Rob was an extraordinary individual whose bravery, resilience, and unwavering spirit inspired us all. His legacy extends far beyond his achievements in rugby; his courage in the face of adversity has left an indelible mark on our community and fellow sufferers of the despicable disease MND.
For many years, Rob and his family have been ardent supporters of the Yorkshire Choice Awards, embodying the very spirit of dedication and excellence that our event celebrates. His contributions have enriched so many people's lives and have inspired countless individuals to persevere through their own challenges.
As we gather to honour the remarkable individuals at this year’s Yorkshire Choice Awards this Friday evening, we would like to take a moment to remember Rob and his incredible journey. We kindly ask all guests to be seated by 7:20 PM for a brief tribute to Rob’s life and legacy, which will commence at 7:30 PM.
This will be a time for us to reflect on the profound impact he has had on our lives and to honour his memory.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. We look forward to sharing this poignant moment with you as we celebrate the life of a truly inspirational man.
