All the fundraising for Rob and MND is out of this world, Sir Kev is an incredible human and friend and team mate. Oli Holmes done a quality job as well.

well done to ollie maybe should have picked a different week

Every RL fan in the world should be screaming Kevin's name across social media demanding official recognition that his incredible achievement deserves.

I know Kevin, like most heroes and RL folk in general, is modest and selfless and but it truly is a herculean effort.

As a wire fan, my campaign to get him out of retirement and into the P&B starts now.

What kev has done is fantastic I hope he does become sir kev after this I have a family member who has had mnd for 8 years it's a terrible thing so well done kev my son who is 12 is doing 480 stairs from 1st December till 24 December small thing after what kev has done but raised £225 every bit helps to try and get a cure

Yep well over £2m raised. Phenomenal

Just short of 2.5m at the minute. Absolutely incredible.

Cant say ive ever been prouder to support our great club and Sir Kev.

What a week.

Totals,gone down by 120 grand overnight. £2,379,189 now.
What's that all about?

Ive a feeling it went down a few days ago too. Leeds have tweeted they have contacted Just giving about it.

From justgiving FAQ page

“The reason that your total is lower than it was before is due to unsuccessful donations being made to your page.
When donations are made and all of the details on the surface look correct, we assume that the payment will go through and we pull the donation through to your page. Sometimes when we send this information to the bank a donation isn't successful and we try to take it again over a 24 hours period - during this time the donation stays on your page.
If the donation is still unsuccessful at the end of the 24 hour period then we remove the entry from the fundraising page, which is when you'll see the total change again.”

Has anyone got any contacts in the US (or even better the US media). Lets try and get this unbelievable story of human spirit spread throughout the US and see if we can't double the funds raised and the awareness of this terrible illness.

It worked for Captain Tom.

Looks like some financial institution had trouble with their card payments overnight. Don't think it is anything nefarious!

I was asked by Rob if i would help contribute to his new book a few weeks back which i deemed a great honour.

This week i spoke with the writer sharing tales of the great man for 90 mins from his academy debut at St Helens to the present day. Very emotional i have to say.

Hopefully the book will do Rob justice once complete and released and make a few bob for the MND Association.

Massive compliment for you Marty with Rob asking you to contribute to his new book
Without giving too much away or spoiling your contribution to the book Marty How far back do you go with Rob and in what capacity?

Purely as a fan who goes to most of the academy/scholarship games home and away and obviously with small crowds you get to see and meet family members and players coming thru the system and also people at the club. I was very lucky to watch all the golden generation come thru and built some fantastic relationships that still stand now. The way i was treated at that time was truly incredible.

With Rob in particular i was there when he made his academy debut at St Helens, stood with his parents at many a game and watched him come thru.

When he became Academy coach i started to chat with him weekly, we would message each other on twitter about games and players and built a nice relationship in a way which led to swapping numbers.

Apparantly players have terrible memories about games and years so the writer asked if there was anyone who he knew that could help and maybe give a fans perspective so Rob text me a few weeks back asking if i would like to get involved which was an absolute honour and very humbling to be asked.

Lovely that Marty cheers, I Can't wait for the book

can't be many that watch all levels like that, did jason robinson ever try out

No mate. He was Wigan bound long before Academy days.

was there no truth that gary stephens turned him away in favour of gareth

That was Bob Pickles if I remember correctly - we were looking at both as half-backs, we went with Stephens, the rest is painful history....
