All of us at Leeds Hospitals Charity are incredibly saddened following the death of Geoff Burrow.

Geoff was a wonderful advocate for those living with Motor Neurone Disease, and a huge supporter of our appeal to build the Rob Burrow Centre for MND at Seacroft Hospital.

"We've had the privilege of getting to know Geoff over the last few years as he supported us to build the Rob Burrow Centre for MND at Seacroft Hospital. He was a very brave and generous man whose family meant the world to him. He was an incredible advocate for those living with MND and a firm believer that more investment in research would find better treatments, and hopefully a cure. Our thoughts are with his wife Irene, his daughters, grandchildren and the whole family at this sad time."
