2nd Jul 2019. S&G Response - Macmillan Cancer Support
On 27 June 2019 a team of four from S&G Response took on Macmillan Cancer Support’s Longest Day Golf Challenge. The team aim to raise £2,000, which is the equivalent of providing a Macmillan nurse for almost 2 weeks or providing 66 gifts, helping provide a piece of joy to children with cancer who are going through treatment. To begin Longest Day Golf Challenge the team were out of bed at 3am and ready to tee off at sunrise, hoping to complete the challenge by sunset. The challenge dictated that they complete 72 holes, or four full rounds of golf.
Overall the day was a great success, with the team completing the challenge by 10pm while the sun was setting. After 18 hours of playing golf and around 40km of walking the team were exhausted but elated to know they had done their bit for a fantastic cause, with Macmillan thanking them for their support.
The total amount raised so far is £1,350. Donations are still coming in, and the Macmillan team page is still open if you, too, would like to support the cause.
