“Take Care: A Memoir of Love, Family & Never Giving Up” is the moving autobiography of Lindsey Burrow, mother of three young children, who has inspired the nation through her selfless commitment to her husband, Rob Burrow (CBE), the legendary rugby player she cares for during his heroic battle with motor neuron disease. Lindsey reveals the depths of resilience, personal sacrifice, and hope she demonstrated daily when her family’s life was overturned by the diagnosis of this terminal illness. Combining her work in the NHS as a physiotherapist with caring for Rob, who could neither move nor speak and needed her help to eat, she simultaneously raised her remarkable family and helped raise awareness about MND.
Lindsey also presented her ITV1 debut documentary, “Who Cares for Our Carers?” in 2024, which highlighted the emotional and practical difficulties faced by thousands of informal carers, whose hidden work is estimated to be worth £162 billion a year in the UK — an amount equivalent to another NHS. With her characteristically humble, charming, and inspiring manner, Lindsey explores her life and shares her honest experiences about how she found strength in both good and bad times, aiming to offer hope to readers and families to overcome challenges in their lives.
The book shines a light on many families across the UK who care for their loved ones with minimal support and serves as a passionate call to action for all of us as a society to care better for one another.
