Winner of the Sports Book Awards 2022, the updated edition of the Sunday Times bestselling inspirational memoir from rugby league legend Rob Burrow is a captivating tale of his extraordinary career, his incredible friendship with fellow Rhino Kevin Sinfield, and his brave battle with motor neurone disease.

"A pocket rocket of a player and a giant of a character," Clare Balding aptly describes Rob Burrow. His story is truly inspirational, as he defied all odds and became one of the greatest rugby league players of all time.

As a young boy, Rob faced numerous obstacles. Told he was too small to play the sport, he persevered and made his debut for Leeds Rhinos, where he was initially written off as a novelty. However, Rob's determination and skill shone through, and he went on to win eight Super League Grand Finals, two Challenge Cups, and three World Club Challenges. He also represented his country in two World Cups.

In December 2019, Rob's life took an unexpected turn when he was diagnosed with motor neurone disease, a rare and degenerative condition. Given only a couple of years to live, he was faced with an impossible challenge. But Rob refused to give up. With the unwavering support of his family, friends, and teammates, he embarked on a remarkable journey to fight his illness.

Written with honesty and humor, Too Many Reasons to Live is a testament to Rob's unwavering courage and determination. It tells the story of a man who resolved to turn a terrible situation into something positive. The book explores the power of love, both between Rob and his childhood sweetheart Lindsey and the life-changing bond of friendship between Rob, Kevin Sinfield, and their Rhino teammates.

Far more than a sports memoir, this book is a remarkable and awe-inspiring story of boundless courage and infinite resilience. It inspires readers to never give up, even in the face of adversity, and to find strength and hope in the face of darkness.

Rob Burrow's journey is a testament to the human spirit and the power of friendship. His story continues to inspire people around the world, reminding us that we are capable of overcoming any obstacle and that our lives can have a profound impact on others.
