The fundraising effort clicked past £500,000 (€568,373) on Tuesday evening as Kevin Sinfield and his team of ultra marathoners left Cork bound for Day 3 of their annual 7 in 7 Together challenge in support of Motor Neurone Disease charities.

The former Leeds and Great Britain rugby league star, currently an assistant rugby union coach with England, had earlier trotted into Supervalu Páirc Uí Chaoimh after finding inspiration on Leeside that will fuel his aching limbs in Swansea on Wednesday as he returns to the UK bound for a final leg into Leeds Rhinos’ home stadium at Headingley.
