Lindsey Burrow Author

Lindsey Burrow is an NHS physiotherapist and a carer for her husband Rob Burrow, the rugby league legend who has lived with MND since his diagnosis in 2019. The couple, who met in their teenage years, have three young children. Lindsey cares for Rob full time, whilst working and raising their family. In 2023, Lindsey ran the inaugural Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon, which was co-founded by Rob and his former Leeds Rhinos teammate Kevin Sinfield to help raise awareness for MND. Together, the Burrow family and Sinfield have helped to raise over £15 million for charity.

In the process, they have inspired the nation, offering families hope by sharing their MND journey. In 2023, Lindsey Burrow received a Pride of Britain award, together with Rob and Kevin. Rob Burrow and Kevin Sinfield were awarded CBEs by HRH The Prince of Wales in January 2024. Lindsey featured in the acclaimed BBC 2 documentary, ‘Rob Burrow: Living with MND.’

In 2024, Lindsey presented her debut ITV1 documentary, ‘Who Cares for Our Carers?’ which highlighted the emotional and practical hardships faced by thousands of her fellow unpaid carers, whose hidden work is worth an estimated £162bn a year in the UK, the equivalent of another NHS. Take Care is Lindsey's first book.
