After living next door to Rob’s late grandfather, Bobby, for many years in Castleford, Brody formed a friendship with the rugby league legend and was devastated with his diagnosis with Motor Neurone Disease

Since then, the 12-year-old has been completing seven challenges to raise money for the rugby league legend and the Motor Neurone Disease Association with his #7thingsfornumber7.

Brody, a pupil at Castleford High School, has already completed five challenges, walking from his Pontefract home to Headingley, having his head shaved, holding a huge raffle, a sponsored stay-awake for 24-hours, and even gave his £100 birthday money to the fund organised for Rob and his family.
