Special Guest Speaker – Sir Kevin Sinfield CBE

Sir Kevin Sinfield CBE is one of rugby’s most respected leaders, best known for captaining Leeds Rhinos during one of the most successful periods in the club’s history. Over an outstanding playing career, he won seven Super League titles, three World Club Challenge titles, two Challenge Cups, and represented both Great Britain and England.

Following his retirement from professional rugby, Kevin moved into coaching and leadership roles at the highest level, including with Leicester Tigers and England Rugby.

Beyond sport, Kevin has inspired millions through his remarkable fundraising efforts for Motor Neurone Disease (MND), honouring his close friend and former teammate Rob Burrow. Since 2020, he has completed a series of extraordinary endurance challenges, raising millions of pounds for MND research, care and support while significantly increasing awareness of the disease.

Join us at the Healthcare Estates Gala Awards Dinner to hear from Kevin as he shares his inspiring story.
