I'm not that knowledgeable on religion. Does an amount of time have to pass before a knight of the realm can become sainted?. Cos I think I might know a candidate. What a bloke.

I think Sinny jumps straight over Saint to “Deity”.
You are totally right top top bloke. No one could do more for his great friend.
Everyone I have shared the link with who do not follow RL have commented and promised to donate.
I cannot imagine what it is like to have the honour of being able to say KS is a friend!

be nice for him to be a genuine sir but he's a beginner in ultra marathons

How disingenuous, the planning, the training, the love that that man has put in for a friend and colleague is beyond comprehension. If you see this as a starter run (baffling) please let us all know when you put £ 1.5,000,000+ in to the fund. I personally will thank you as I'm sure most on here will.

Bizarre comment, the fact he isn’t a marathon runner makes the achievement greater, no?

It puts my faith back into mankind...your a true legend as is Robby b..

not really - someone on facebook got shouted down for posting that he regularly runs marathons , it's a great achievement but a fraction of the record of 93 in 95 days female - what should that person be awarded ?? or 401 male ? the sahara race is 4 in 4 days ---

It's a remarkable thing of friendship and achievement

is ollie holmes bike ride a more physical feat but not getting the bbc baclking?

There’s always one......

Super effort, super bloke, super outcome. Couldn’t be prouder of our wonderful club and the folk involved - and whilst I know Sinfield won’t have done this for (or like) all of the attention and personal praise he’s getting, he absolutely deserves all of the plaudits, of both his physical achievement and his character.

You go run 7 marathons in 7 days and tell us how it was when you're done. And I don't want to know if they aren't all under 7 hours. And whilst you're doing it imagine one of your closest and older mates, who you've been through wars with, is dying from the most horrible of diseases. And how the eyes of the world are on you. Good luck

cheers that's the part i was struggling to write late at night

There are people thinking Lewis Hamilton should be made a Sir. The richest man in sport, a tax exile who pays little or no tax to this country.
Kevin Sinfield should be way in front of him for a Knighthood. a man rich in humanity and a truly decent guy for all he has done unselfishly. But he is a Northern RL player, so guess who will get the Gong. Well done Sir Kevin.

I think Kev already has been given a city of Leeds award, but not freedom of the city . Correct me if I'm wrong. I think he should be given The Freedom of The City .

Leeds all time highest point scorer. Captained Leeds to 7 titles, 3 league leaders shields, 2 challenge cups and 3 world club challenges. Won the golden boot award, 2x harry sunderland trophy, 1x lance todd trophy. He has now run 7 marathons in consecutive days all under 4 hours raising over £2m. If that does not deserve a knighthood, then I do not know what does.

He may not be the best ultra runner but did the ulta runner captain a team to all those titles and personal accolades? Has that ultra runner raised over £2m for charity and raised a considerable more amount of awareness for the cruel disease?

You seem to be spectacularly missing the point, its not just about the running the marathons its that ontop of why he’s done it and what it has raised.

Oh and what Ollie holmes has done has been fantastic too, but im sure theres better cyclists than him too eh?
