βTo our hero daddy, Robβ
Retired rugby league star Rob Burrow said hearing his children read to him makes him reflect on when he used to read to them.
The former Leeds Rhinos player has Motor Neurone Disease and speaks via a computer, using recorded samples of his voice.
He has been taking part in ³ΙΘΛΏμΚΦ Radio 5 Liveβs βRead Out Loudβ challenge, along with his wife Lindsey and children Maya and Macy.
The station has been asking people to read out loud some words which really matter to them.
Macy read out loud a birthday card she had given to her dad.
βWe are so lucky to have you,β she said. βYou are a dad in a million.β
Rob said he βlovedβ his children reading to him.
βI loved reading to the kids. It was so special to see the wonderment in their faces. Now the shoe is on the other foot,β he said.
