Widow championing nation's unpaid army

- JEREMY ARMSTRONG

THE widow of rugby league legend Rob Burrow has highlighted the incredible work done by the UK's army of unpaid carers.

Lindsey looked after Rob from his diagnosis with motor neurone disease in 2019 until his death last year, aged 41. And she believes that without the commitment shown by unpaid carers, society would struggle.

Lindsey said: "In the UK, there are over 10 million carers, and two million of those are actually working, "So, they are juggling working and caring responsibilities as well, and I just think they do an amazing job.

"Without them, our country just wouldn't cope."
