It was a huge honour to welcome His Royal Highness Prince William to The Rob Burrow Centre for Motor Neurone Disease this week.
Rob’s wife and children, his former teammate Kevin Sinfield, and his consultant Dr Agam Jung all met the Prince of Wales and spoke to him about the difference the landmark centre will make to families.
The Prince also spoke to current service users and their families, and spent time talking to research consultants Dr Stuart Currie and Dr Stefan Williams about two new studies due to start at the centre which will aim to improve early diagnosis.
Clinicians, project teams and donors were also present at the event, where the Prince unveiled a plaque and gave a generous gift of a coffee machine to the centre.
The Trust is very grateful to everyone who has supported the creation of the Rob Burrow Centre for Motor Neurone Disease and to the Prince of Wales for officially opening the new centre.
This centre has only been made possible thanks to everybody who has fundraised for and donated to Leeds Hospitals Charity.
