Leeds Rhinos legend Rob Burrow, who lives with motor neurone disease (MND) reads a CBeebies Bedtime story to mark International Day of Persons with Disabilities (3/12/22). He is the first non verbal person to record a Cbeebies bedtime story.
Rob, will be using an eye-controlled computer to read the story. The computer recreates the words in his own native Yorkshire accent. Rob says he is “excited and honoured” as he used to enjoy reading to his own children. He was joined in the CBeebies studio by his wife Lindsey and two of their children, Maya, 7, and Jackson, 3.
