Fundraiser and campaigner Kevin Sinfield has started a new charity challenge, the first following the death of his best friend and former Leeds Rhinos team-mate, Rob Burrow. Kevin will run seven ultramarathons in seven successive days to his hometown of Saddleworth, in what he is calling "Running Home for Christmas", raising money for motor neurone disease causes along the way. He started the challenge in Liverpool, where he ran alongside thousands as part of the city's annual Santa Dash. Report by Etemadil.

00:00Today we're running from Liverpool to Wrexham. This is part of a week-long fundraiser. We'll
00:12run at least 50km a day for the next week. We move all across the UK and we end up in
00:17Belfast as well so it'll be a brilliant week. It'll be a brutal challenge but hopefully
00:23we raise a lot of money and awareness for the MND community.
