Rugby league legend Sir Kevin Sinfield is set to visit Bradford next week as part of his final major fundraising challenge in support of people affected by motor neurone disease (MND).
The former Leeds Rhinos captain will stop at Bradford Bulls' Bartercard Odsal stadium on Wednesday, September 30, during his final endurance event, 7 in 7: The Grand Finale.
The challenge got under way this morning, with Sinfield setting off from reigning Super League champions Hull KR on the first leg of the seven-day journey.

Inspired by former Leeds Rhinos team-mate and close friend Rob Burrow, who died in 2024 after living with MND for four and a half years, the challenge will see Sinfield complete an ultra-marathon every day for seven days while visiting every Super League club.
Headingley and Huddersfield also part of the route
His Bradford visit forms part of day four, when he will leave Wakefield before making an emotional return to AMT Headingley, home of Leeds Rhinos.
He will then travel on to Odsal before finishing the day at Huddersfield's Accu Stadium.
Each day of the challenge is divided into 7km blocks, with Sinfield required to complete each section within an hour before moving on to the next.
He will also be joined by people affected by MND, who are invited to complete a mile alongside Sinfield and his team each day.

Sinfield has become synonymous with fundraising for the MND community since Burrow's diagnosis, raising more than £11 million through a series of gruelling endurance events while helping increase awareness of the disease.
Challenge to conclude at Old Trafford
The 45-year-old has already completed six fundraising challenges and said ahead of the event there was "no time to be tired" as he prepared for what he described as his final major challenge for the MND community.
His latest venture concludes at Old Trafford ahead of the Super League Grand Final on Saturday, October 3.
The finish will hold special significance, with Sinfield and Burrow winning seven Grand Finals together at the famous stadium during their glittering Leeds Rhinos careers.
