Alex
THIS Wednesday, The Steve Prescott Bridge will be lit up green in memory of nine-year-old cancer fighter Alex Prescott who died last year.
Alex, from Parr, died on Tuesday, June 12 2018 at the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital after a long and courageous battle with leukaemia that he has been fighting since 2015.
His bravery led to him winning the Pride of St Helens Child of Courage award in 2017 (see above)
To mark a year since his death, his parents Michelle and James got in contact in St Helens Council who agreed to light up the bridge green – Alex's favourite colour.
