In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Lindsey today reveals her family’s last days with Rob, who became the face of MND, a rare condition that affects the brain and nerves, causing weakness and muscle-wasting.
The night before Rob died, Lindsey placed a DVD player in his room at Pinderfields Hospital in Wakefield, West Yorks, so they could watch their wedding video one final time.
Rob’s courage saw him awarded an MBE in 2022 and he and rugby pal Kevin Sinfield, who has run thousands of miles to fundraise for research and patient support, received CBE honours from Prince William in January last year.
The images went around the world, becoming a symbol of enduring hope, and Lindsey says: “Rob was really brave and courageous to share his story.
Lindsey has written a book about her life with Rob, called Take Care, which is being exclusively serialised in The Sun.
