Rob Burrow's Centre for Motor Neurone Disease: Burrow family make mark on centre bearing his name

Yorkshire Post

The family of Rob Burrow left an indelible mark on the centre which will bear his name yesterday, as handprints were placed in concrete and the first bricks were officially laid.  Lindsey Burrow, together with Maya, nine, Macy, 12, and Jackson, five, made permanent concrete handprints and marks in concrete slabs which are to be used in the landscaping of the new centre.  This marks a significant construction milestone as the foundations were laid of the new Rob Burrow Centre for Motor Neurone Disease at Seacroft Hospital.
