And the most inspirational. As a boy, Rob was told he was too small to play the sport. Even when he made his debut for Leeds Rhinos, people wrote him off as a novelty. But Rob never stopped proving people wrong. During his time at Leeds he won eight Super League Grand Finals, two Challenge Cups and three World Club Challenges. He also played for his country in two World Cups.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn December 2019, Rob was diagnosed with motor neurone disease, a rare degenerative condition, and given a couple of years to live. He was only thirty-seven, not long retired and had three young children. When he went public with the devastating news, the outpouring of affection and support was extraordinary. When it became clear that Rob was going to fight it all the way, sympathy turned to awe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten with honesty and humour, \u003ci\u003eToo Many Reasons to Live\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of a man who resolved to turn a terrible situation into something positive.
