Prostate Cancer UK has a simple ambition - to stop men dying from prostate cancer. Through shifting the science over the next 10 years to focus on radical improvements in diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and support, we will stop prostate cancer being a killer.

Story

Thanks for looking!

I want to raise £260+ for Prostate Cancer and need some help.

As anyone who knows me will be aware I am a keen golfer and have set myself a target by next April of being able to drive the ball off the tee a bit further - defying age and creaking bones whilst raising some much needed funds for charity.

The challenge I have set myself is as follows:- 

  • My current average carry distance with a driver is 232 yards in the Swing studio at Knaresborough Golf club. 
  • On the first of  April next year (2017) I will hit 5 drives taking the best one and  I will donate £5 to prostate cancer for every yard short of 260 yards carry . Thats an increase of 38 yards required !!!!

In addition to any donation I will probably have to make, If you would like to sponsor me  it would be fantastic! 

If it helps then imagine the pain I am going to have to go through to put on some muscle, increase my speed and generally defy the ageing process to achieve this.

I am also going to throw down a few long drive challenges over the coming months to raise some more money towards the charity

Thanks again for looking

Ian
