Teeofftimes team’s marathon charity challenge

Published:

The Teeofftimes team are supporting the Big Golf Drive for Macmillan Cancer Support big time.

Firstly, on Friday 24th August they are asking Teeofftimes partner clubs to donate an hour’s worth of tee-times, as well as playing non-stop golf from dawn to dusk:72 holes, 300-odd shots, 20 miles walked… and £10,000 raised for MacMillan Cancer Support.

That’s the challenge that awaits the 9 intrepid members of the Teeofftimes.co.uk and Golfbreaks.com team.

Said a Teeofftimes team member: “We’re playing four rounds of golf in one epic day that will raise significant funds for a fantastic charity that does so much to provide practical, medical and financial support for cancer sufferers.

“With 1 in 3 people affected in some way by cancer, its importance is immeasurable, its need for resources enormous.

“The £10,000 we aim to raise will really make a difference, whether it’s used to buy liquidisers for people whose treatment makes eating solid food difficult or helping to fund a MacMillan nurse.

“So if you are able to, please sponsor us and help us to reach this goal. No matter how small the donation, every pound is invaluable.

More than 250,000 people a year book through the online service, and this challenge is the ideal opportunity for those who love the game to really make a difference.

“We’re committed to helping raise these much-needed funds but we need all the help we can get so please, dig deep and help us to help them.”

Meanwhile, you and your club/course can further support Macmillan Cancer Support by staging your own special Big Golf Drive event on or before August 24th.
