Scott Stevens was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma when he was 12 years old.

Scott was diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma, a rare type of bone cancer, when he was 12 years old. Six months later, after an aggressive course of chemotherapy, Scott lost his right leg to cancer.

"I recently had a new prosthetic leg fitted that has been designed especially for running. I’m looking forward to taking part in the London 10k in May 2012 and running for CHILDREN with CANCER.

I love what I’m doing and have a positive frame of mind. The world is my oyster and I can do anything I want to do."
