As you are aware our founder Jeff Whitaker passed away as a result of being diagnosed with MND in 2018, so MND is very close to heart. Today, we at WhitCo are deeply saddened by the passing of Rob Burrow CBE, a beloved patron of the MND Association and an inspirational figure in both the sporting world and the fight against Motor Neurone Disease (MND). Rob’s courageous journey and relentless spirit in battling MND, even as he raised significant awareness and funds for the disease, have left an indelible mark on all of us.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to Rob’s wife Lindsey, his children Macy, Maya, and Jackson, his parents Geoff and Irene, and all his loved ones.
Rob’s legacy continues to inspire and drive us. In his memory, WhitCo reaffirms its commitment to supporting MND research and aiding those affected by this devastating disease. As we mourn the loss of a true hero, we also celebrate his remarkable life and contributions.
For those wishing to honour Rob’s memory, we encourage donations to the MND Association, to further the crucial research that aims to find treatments and a cure. Every contribution brings us closer to a future without MND.
