You have got to take your hat off to Steve. Ive done a few marathons in my time but to do 5 and with his illness, well its truely amazing.....a real man of steel! Well done to Steve and everyone involved.

Dragon boat ?

It was our original intention to Dragon Boat from Leeds to Old Trafford.

We informed the British Waterways in May, it took them 8 weeks for them to be available to meet.

At the meeting they said there was no way they would allow us to go through the lock system in a Dragon Boat through Health & Safety reasons.

Having negotiated the locks in the Thames we did not foresee this as a problem.

This Challenge was all Steve's idea, it was hastily arranged, i have to confess i felt like it was a "run" too far!

Again we need the RL Community to step up to the plate and help him through, running alongside Steve and giving him support company will make the challenge so much easier.

Reet... gutted about the dragon boat.

That's health and safety s for you

He's an inspiration that guy isn't he. A true legend

some friends and i are running and walking from the hj to o/t on the same dayu doogs see you there hopefully mate

Awesome Steve, good luck with that, if you think you have a mile left in your legs come and finish off in the Fanzone

Keep on Running, Steve Prescott’s Engage Mutual Challenge
28 September - October 2nd.

Two Castleford Tigers fans are part of a group from HMP Leeds that will don their running shoes and grind out the miles next week in support of an ultra marathon challenge being undertaken by ex Hull and Wakefield rugby League, star Steve Prescott MBE, who is fighting terminal cancer.

Steve plans to run four marathons in four days, across Yorkshire and into Lancashire as part of a fundraising mission to raise money for Try Assist, the rugby league benevolent fund which supports injured ex players, and The Christie Hospital, which treats and conducts research into Steve’s rare cancer, pseudomyxoma peritonei.

Tigers fans Liam Gill (23) and Mark Hudson (47) who is governor at HMP Leeds will join HMP Leeds Officer Steve Mardy (51)and Senior officer Andy Bagnall (46) in supporting Steve by running alongside him for the 15.5 miles from Monk Fryston to Headingley via Garforth on day two.

Mark Hudson stated:

“Both myself and Liam are big Tigers fans, and our inspiration to be part of the challenge is obviously to be able to run and support Steve. I have watched in amazement at some of the challenges Steve has set himself over the years. The deciding factor came at Knowsley Road at our final game of the season. The reception Steve received before the curtain raiser left the hairs on your neck standing up.

“We all feel privileged to be given this opportunity to run alongside Steve. The man is a legend in the game and an inspiration to us all.”
