As many of you know I enjoy walking and try to walk every day.

Last year cancer impacted on a number of my friends and I wanted to help raise funds to support those going through cancer and to support cancer research.

The Steve Prescott Foundation is a local charity to me who raise money for the Christie Hospital so when I saw that they are raising money by walking throughout the year it seemed a perfect match .

I'm also a huge rugby league fan and the cause also supports the rugby league benevolent charity another cause close to my heart.
