Sunday’s main match sponsor is ‘All Things Fire and Security’ in support of the ‘Darby Rimmer MND Foundation’. Security Director Tom Broadbent gave us an inside view on why they are sponsoring the game and why supporting the Darby Rimmer MND Foundation and raising awareness of Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is so important to him.
Tom commented: “I’m proud to sponsor Hunslet RLFC’s Superhero Day in support of the Darby Rimmer MND Foundation. As a lifelong rugby league fan and someone who believes in the power of sport to drive real change, this partnership feels like a natural fit.
“Hunslet has a proud community-focused history in Leeds, and events like Superhero Day—where fans, dress up, celebrate, and come together—perfectly capture the spirit of resilience, strength, and hope that the foundation embodies.
“By sponsoring the day, we’re turning a fun, family-oriented matchday into a platform for awareness and fundraising for Motor Neurone Disease (MND), a devastating illness that progresses rapidly and currently has no cure.
“The Darby Rimmer MND Foundation raises vital funds for research, offers grants and support to families affected, and builds awareness so that no one faces this alone.
“Rugby league and football have already united powerfully around this cause through events like March of the Day, Grassroots Tour, Rob & “Sir” Kev’s many events and now the Superhero Day lets us carry that momentum forward.
“Superheroes aren’t just about capes and powers—they’re about ordinary people showing extraordinary courage in the face of adversity, just like those battling MND every single day. I’m honoured to play a small part in that fight.”
