Rob Burrow's Widow Lindsey to Release Inspirational Memoir with Foreword by Prince William
  • Lindsey Burrow, the widow of rugby league legend Rob Burrow, has announced her upcoming memoir titled 'Take Care: A Memoir of Love, Family & Never Giving Up,' set for publication on February 27, 2025.

  • The memoir will highlight Lindsey's role as a physiotherapist in the NHS, her dedication to raising awareness and funds for motor neurone disease (MND) research, and her personal sacrifices while caring for Rob.

  • Lindsey provided round-the-clock care for Rob, who lost his ability to move, talk, and eat independently due to MND, all while raising their three children.

  • Together with Rob and his friend Kevin Sinfield, Lindsey campaigned for MND awareness and raised over $19 million for charity.

  • Rob Burrow, diagnosed with MND shortly after retiring from professional rugby, became a prominent advocate for the disease before passing away in June at the age of 41.

  • In January, Prince William honored Rob and Kevin Sinfield with CBEs for their contributions to MND awareness, expressing admiration for Lindsey's strength and positivity.

  • In his foreword for Lindsey's memoir, Prince William reflects on Rob's legacy and describes him as a source of inspiration, stating he taught others to 'dare to dream' despite adversity.

  • William's support for Lindsey's memoir comes just three months after Rob's death from MND, underscoring the impact of their family's journey.

  • Prince William has referred to Rob Burrow as a 'legend of Rugby League,' praising his enduring spirit and the legacy he left behind.

  • Lindsey hopes her memoir will not only tell her family's story but also highlight the vital work of caregivers in the U.K. and inspire others facing their own challenges.

  • The book cover features seven photographs of Lindsey and Rob, showcasing their life together, including family portraits and significant moments.

  • Royal expert Cameron Walker recently shared the news of the memoir and its cover on social media, confirming Prince William's contribution as the writer of the foreword.
