The Steve Prescott Foundation
The Steve Prescott Foundation was established in 2006 and is headed up by ex St Helens, Hull, Wakefield, Ireland and GB Lions Tourist player, Steve Prescott MBE, who is battling cancer. Through a series of incredible challenges, more than £200,000 has so far been raised for its two nominated charities: Try Assist, previously known as the RFL Benevolent Fund, and the Christie Cancer Hospital in Manchester.
