Kevin Sinfield has completed his latest fundraising challenge to help people living with motor neurone disease by running his seventh ultra-marathon in as many days across seven different cities.
The former rugby league star, 43, crossed the finishing line at The Mall in London on Thursday afternoon having also ran 27-mile routes in Leeds, Cardiff, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Dublin and Brighton over the last week.
Sinfield has been inspired to take on a series of sapping challenges after his great friend and former Leeds Rhinos team-mate Rob Burrow was diagnosed with MND in 2019.

The target this time was to raise £777,777 and the Motor Neurone Disease Association has confirmed that total has been exceeded through online and other donations
Sinfield has raised more than £8m in total since beginning his challenges in late 2020.
He told the crowd on Thursday after finishing his fourth fundraiser: "You all know why we're here. Hopefully we've sent the right message out.
"The MND community is a beautiful community and it needs all of us to keep fighting. The awareness we have generated this week has been enormous again in Rob's name.
"Fundraising is so important. We tried to push this morning how important the money is because that's the thing that's going to shift the dial for us. That's the thing that's going to get us a cure.
"It's also the thing that's going to make sure families are looked after properly, If there's one thing you leave with today from our team, it's that."
The charities supported by this latest challenge include the Rob Burrow Centre for MND in Leeds.
Donations will also go to the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation, the Irish MND Association, the Darby Rimmer MND Foundation, and the 4ED campaign, with the latter supporting former Leicester rugby union player Ed Slater.
