Steve Prescott played Rugby League for St Helens, Hull, Wakefield, Ireland and was a GB Lions Tourist.
In September 2006 he was diagnosed with Pseudomyxoma Peritonei a rare form of Cancer, and was told that he would not see his two children grow up.
He was given months to live. He underwent a major operation in Basingstoke Hospital and tumours were removed from his abdomen. After surgery Steve was transferred to The Christie Hospital in Manchester for chemotherapy treatment to try to control the remaining disease.
The Steve Prescott Foundation was formed in August 2007 and against all odds Steve has battled on helping raise thousands for charity from a number of high profile sponsored events.
Steve decided that he wanted to give something back to people who needed it, after the kindness and support he received from the Rugby League community and the general public throughout the difficult time in his life.
