In memory of Denis Fitzpatrick
Fundraising for Stroke Association
Story
Denis sadly passed away on Sunday 6th September 2020 at the age of 70. One of his biggest passion's was golf and although Denis survived a stroke in 2009, he used golf to help with his recovery.
He wanted others who also survived a stroke to gain the benefits of this great game, so Denis worked in partnership with Wales Golf and the Stroke Association to set up golf sessions for stroke survivors to also help them with their recovery. The scheme has been life-changing for those involved and sessions now run all over Wales with nearly 200 stroke survivors.
This is one of Denis' legacies and funds will be used by the Stroke Association to continue projects like this to improve the lives of stroke survivors. Here is a clip of the project

Den loved to celebrate life and analysing the golf swing, so in his memory please remember to 'raise a glass' or 'take a golf swing' for Den from time to time. Keep this in your memory or take a picture or video and post on social media with the #oneforden and tag in the family. He would love that!
