For those that don't know Steve.....
Steve Prescott played Rugby League for St Helens, Hull, Wakefield, Ireland and was a GB Lions Tourist.
In September 2006, Steve was diagnosed with Pseudomyxoma Peritonei a rare form of Cancer, he was told that he would not see his two children grow up; he was given months to live.
He underwent an Emergency Operation in Basingstoke Hospital and a tumour was removed from his Stomach.
The Steve Prescott Fund was formed immediately by a group of Rugby League Supporters they raised money for Steve and his family so Steve could concentrate on his battle against Cancer.
Over the next year Steve defied medical experts and managed to build himself up to his rugby playing weight by spending hours in Gym.
At a Wigan v Saints Charity Supporters match in August 2007 for Christies Hospital Manchester Steve was invited to be the Guest of Honour, it was decided in a conversation that he would start to raise money for the two organisations that had supported Steve throughout his ordeal Christies and the RFL Benevolent Fund.
The Steve Prescott Fund was ceased and the Steve Prescott Foundation created.
