He went travelling
around Australia, New
Zealand and Europe, before taking jobs as holiday
reps in resorts such as Ibiza in the summer, and France and the United States
in the winter.
All Stevie's friends
were keen to stage an event each year in his memory, and have held a
charity rugby match at Preston Grasshoppers to raise awareness for CRY.
The
match is made up of current and past players, and is always followed by
a hog roast, children's games, bouncy castle, raffle and this year, the
great balloon race which saw over 200 balloons release. Check your
gardens, as one of Stevie's balloons may have travelled as far as he
did!
Later
this year we are planning to hold a CRY screening at the club.

A keen
sportsman and traveller who used to play rugby for Preston Grasshoppers, Stevie
began his adventures in 1998 when he gave up his job at F2 chemicals in Preston
to chase his dream of seeing the world.
