Ladies,
On behalf of myself, Maggie and Elaine, we would like to say a huge THANK YOU to every single person who donated, shared our story, encouraged us and supported us during our recent challenge of playing 45 holes of golf in one day at The Blairgowrie Golf Club in aid of Prostate Cancer UK.
On Thursday 18th June, we walked approximately 18 kilometres, battled tired legs, sore feet and a few challenging holes along the way, but thanks to your incredible generosity, every step was worthwhile.
We are absolutely delighted to have raised £5,135 as a ladies team, helping contribute to more than £17,000 raised overall by the 8 teams of 3, playing on the day. This is an achievement we could never have reached without your support.
This challenge was about much more than golf. It was about raising awareness of a major disease that affects 1 in 8 men, encouraging earlier diagnosis, and helping fund research that can save lives. We have seen first-hand how early detection can make all the difference, and if our efforts encourage even one more man to get checked sooner, then every mile walked and every golf ball struck was worth it. Sadly, 1 in 3 men in Scotland only receive diagnosis when it’s too late.
Your kindness, generosity and messages of support kept us going throughout the day and reminded us why we were doing this. Knowing so many people were behind us gave us the determination to finish all 45 holes with smiles on our faces.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping us make a difference and for supporting such an important cause.
Together, we are helped to create a future where more men receive an earlier diagnosis and have a better chance of successful treatment.
With sincere gratitude,
Pauline, Maggie & Elaine
