KEVIN Sinfield has smashed through the million pound mark - even before completing this morning's seventh marathon in seven days.
The former Leeds and England loose forward has been undertaking the gruelling challenge to support his former teammate Rob Burrow and raise funds and awareness for the MNDA.
HE'S DONE IT 🥳 £1,000,000!

It's as his close friend Rob Burrow, who has motor neurone disease, was always number 7 on the rugby field.
His fund raising total has just reached over £800,000 👏https://t.co/BkoIFVeN5d pic.twitter.com/UShaRiJrf2
