The Longest day
Hey fellow neighbors
Hope everyone is well and getting into the Christmas spirit,
Sadly not everyone will be having a good Christmas or in fact making Christmas this year due to something that effects almost everybody these days and that is CANCER!!!
I lost my poppa to it and it was the single worst thing to watch I’ve ever seen.
A group of friends and I are playing competing in the cancer society’s 72 hole longest day challenge on the 17th of January 2020.
This will be a day where we tee off at 530am and finish around sunset if we are lucky.
Playing 72 golf holes and walking close to a marathon in distance in the hot summer heat.
I am trying to fundraise as much as I can until this time and would be so grateful to anyone who can help me reach my target.
I have attached the link below where you can donate to this initiative which is truly one of the most serious and common diseases we are faced with today.
Thank you all for your time and donations
