Steve Prescott achieved much during a glittering career with St Helens, Wakefield and Hull FC and has astounded everyone in recent years with his courage and determination. Despite suffering from a rare form of stomach cancer, he has undertaken increasingly tougher challenges to raise money for the foundation set up in his name, which donates all profits to Try Assist and The Christie hospital in Manchester.

 

This determination has inspired 7 people; Danny Stapleton, Steve White, Richard Owen, Gary Brennand, Adam Wilcox, Jeff Stobbart and Richard Blowman to tackle a challenge of their own and on 17^th April they will attempt to cycle the 900 miles from Lands End to John O’Groats, with all monies raised being donated to The Steve Prescott Foundation. They plan to do this in 10 days & the team have been training for almost 12 weeks through wind, rain, snow and ice to get themselves in shape for what promises to be a very tough challenge!

 

 

They will be passing through the area on Wednesday 21^st and Thursday 22^nd April so if you see them please pass on your encouragement, it’s all for a wonderful cause.
