The inspiring Lindsey Burrow will be joining us to talk about her memoir, Take Care: A Memoir of Love, Family & Never Giving Up. 

Lindsey will be in conversation with Claire Turner, CEO of Carers Leeds. The book is a life-affirming memoir of Lindsey Burrow, the working mother of three young children who inspired the nation through her selfless commitment to husband Rob Burrow (CBE), the rugby league legend she cared for following his motor neurone disease (MND) diagnosis.

Told in Lindsey’s characteristically humble, charming and inspirational style, Take Care explores her life and shares her honest experiences of finding strength in the good and the bad times; in order to offer readers and families hope to overcome challenges in their own lives. The book sheds a light on the many families across the UK who care for their loved ones with little support. Finally, the book is a rousing call to action, for us all as a society to take better care of one another.

Carers Leeds is a charity that provides information, advice and support to adult and parent carers across our city, who look after a family member or friend who couldn’t manage without their help. If you, or someone you know is an unpaid carers Carers Leeds is there to help. Lindsey will be signing copies of her book after the event.
