Ewan Dowes (W 97-99) Completes the Steve Prescott National 3 Peaks Cycling Challenge For Charity

In September, former professional rugby league player Ewan Dowes successfully completed the Steve Prescott National 3 Peaks Cycling Challenge to raise money for the St. James’s Place Charitable Foundation and the Steve Prescott Foundation.

“It is the toughest thing I have ever done, both physically and mentally,” Ewan said after completing the challenge.

Over the course of less than 72 hours, he cycled an incredible 450 miles and hiked up the UK’s three highest mountains.

• Day 1: Snowdon – 12.2 km, 712 m ascent; Bike – 251 km, 991 m ascent

• Day 2: Bike – 248 km, 1,566 m ascent; Scafell Pike – 15.4 km, 983 m ascent

• Day 3: Bike – 191 km, 1,064 m ascent; Ben Nevis – 12.4 km, 1,331 m ascent

Every pound that Ewan raises personally will be matched by St. James’s Place. The matched funding will go directly to the St. James’s Place Charitable Foundation, while the funds raised by Ewan will go to the Steve Prescott Foundation’s beneficiaries: The Christie Cancer Hospital and The Rugby League Benevolent Fund.

This remarkable achievement not only provides vital support for these charities but also ensures that the legacy of the great professional rugby league footballer Steve Prescott continues to make a lasting impact.
