Well done that man and I like how it's for the charity as a whole rather than just the individual but then I can't imagine Rob Burrow would want it any other way.
In all honesty I hope ZERO goes directly to Rob Burrow, he's been a well paid individual for a long time, many tens of thousands of those suffering from various ailments who aren't high profile sportspersons or earning very good salaries are not getting any additional funds for them to cope with life post diagnosis from the general public.I don't agree with benefit matches for players in these circumstances, any monies should be giv en to charities for that cause and they be equitably distributed on the basis of need. Why should one individual get more/large sums on the basis of them being high profile?
It's nothing personal against RB, I had my own career devastated by chronic illness, never asked for a penny more than what everyone else has being given in terms of help, in fact I refused money I could have had. I just want equitable treatment for all those that are having to deal with what they are going through because of a bad roll of the dice.
