Story

<p>21st August 2011: Well about a month since the challenge and got another &pound;5.00 donated today, fantastic and thank you!!! Last chance to support the Fairway Flyers now... so please donate and support the super work of MacMillan Cancer Support.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>23rd July 2011: So yesterday was an epic experience for the Fairway Flyers - 15 hours of golf and 72 holes completed at St Andrews Major. 4 very tired golfers here!!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Big thanks to everyone who has supported the Fairway Flyers!!!</strong></p> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <p>If you have donated we would like to thank you very much for supporting such a great charity &amp; if you would like to still donate, we would be over the moon.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>After weeks of practice, there's less than 24hours to go before the Fairway Flyers will be hitting the fairways for MacMillan Cancer Support. <strong>Big thanks to all those very kind people that have donated money, bought cakes, and entered the chocolate competition.</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit&nbsp;the <strong>Fairway Flyers</strong>&nbsp;JustGiving page.</p> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><strong>72 hole challenge &amp; chocolate ball competition</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>We are four wannabe great golfers who wanted to do something to support the great work of <strong>Macmillan Cancer Care</strong>. So we are getting up really early on Friday 22nd July 2011 to play four complete rounds of golf that day.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>We'll be playing <strong>72</strong> holes and walking approximately 20 miles at <strong>St Andrews Major Golf Club</strong> in Barry (South Wales),&nbsp;all hopefully before it gets dark. And if it gets dark, we'll be finishing in the dark, that's a Fairway Flyers promise.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>We love golf but have only previously played 2 rounds in one day, so 4 rounds is going to be a real challenge. We will work hard for your donation and would like to thank you in advance for supporting us and Macmillan Cancer Care.</p> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><strong>Chocolate Ball Competition as well...</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>You can also have a guess at how many chocolate balls are in the jar (see photo) for a chance to win all the chocs and a bottle of whiskey. <strong>&pound;1 donation = 1 guess at number of chocs</strong>.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><strong>Thanks very much or as we say in Wales - Diolch</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Also big thanks to Andrew at St Andrews Major Golf Club for supporting the fairway flyers.</p>
