David Dooher, 38, was inspired by the late Doddie Weir.
Sinfield gave Burrow, who was diagnosed with MND in late 2019, a kiss after lifting him out of his wheelchair for the final few metres.
Sinfield will push his former team-mate around the course.
Quotes from both Rob Burrow and the late Doddie Weir will be on the special limited-edition kit.
The My Name’5 Doddie Foundation (MNDF) was set up by the late rugby star in 2017.
More than 12,000 runners will be taking part in the event on Sunday May 14.
David Dooher says the weight represents ‘the burden carried by those who live with MND’.
Speech and language therapists offer support to everyone from pre-term babies learning to suck to people at the end of their lives.
The 1988 Scotland Schools team, who played in New Zealand alongside Doddie Weir, completed an 88km challenge in memory of their former teammate.
Doddie 88 is aiming to raise as much money as possible for the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation.
The former Leeds star has passionately campaigned and raised funds for people affected by MND since he was diagnosed with the condition in 2019.
Stars including Lewis Capaldi and Ewan McGregor supported the Doddie Aid mass participation event, which began on January 1.
Some 200 cyclists took part in the 48-hour charity ride across Wales, England and Scotland.
Weir found the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation to further research into the disease.
