Three Peaks, Three Countries…
24 Hours

Engage Mutual raises over £3000
for the Steve Prescott Foundation

Representatives from two well known Yorkshire financial organisations joined forces in June to raise money for their nominated charities and completed the rigorous national Three Peaks Challenge.

Staff teams from Yorkshire Bank and Engage Mutual took on Snowdon in Wales, Scafell Pike in Cumbria and Ben Nevis in Scotland, within a gruelling 24 hours from 8am on 23 June to 8am on 24 June.

Engage Mutual pledged its fundraising efforts to the Steve Prescott Foundation, which raises money for the Christie Cancer Hospital and Try Assist, the Rugby League Benevolent Fund. Over £3000 has been raised with sponsorship money still being collected.

Yorkshire Bank’s climbers raised funds for its charity partner Help the Hospices, a national charity which supports over 200 hospices across the UK.

The Steve Prescott Foundation

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 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.

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. It was easy for Steve to decide which two charities he would raise money and awareness for, as they are both very close to his heart.

The Christie: The Christie Cancer Hospital in Manchester is one of Europe's leading cancer centres, treating over 40,000 patients a year. This is where Steve is currently being treated. It is one of only two national specialist hospitals that specialises in Pseudomyxoma Peritonei in Great Britain.

Try Assist: Previously known as The Rugby League Benevolent Fund, and aims to support players whose lives are affected by serious injuries while playing the game of Rugby League.
