The Big Golf Race 2023
Campaign by PROSTATE CANCER UK (RCN 1005541 and in Scotland (SC039332))
There's something for everyone in The Big Golf Race. Choose from the Half Marathon (2 rounds, 36 holes, 13 miles in a day), the Marathon (4 rounds, 72 holes, 26 miles in a day) or even the Ultra Marathon (5.5 rounds, 100 holes, 35 miles in a day).

Story

On the 15 August 2023 five of my fantastic colleagues and I (Martin Melges, Russ Penny, Greg Lamprill along with the support of our two unsung backroom hero’s Randy Salway, Declan Coyle, ISG and Knowle Golf Club in Bristol) are attempting ‘The Big Golf Race’ under which we will attempt to complete ‘The Ultra’ 100 holes of Golf in one day in aid of Prostate Cancer UK.

As a team, we request the support in the form of a donation to Prostate Cancer UK through the just giving link below in consideration of the incredibly valuable work they do in raising awareness of this disease and the support they provide in the form of research and assistance.

Prostate cancer affects 1 in 8 men in the UK. That’s thousands of dads, brothers, partners, grandads, mates, sons and uncles. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Your donation will help fund lifesaving research to find better tests to diagnose men sooner.

Our own team member Martin had his own personal battle with Testicular Cancer in 2023 and whilst he talks openly about his experiences as one of the very lucky ones (which result in a positive prognosis), without the high quality information readily available from such Charities as Prostate Cancer UK, Macmillan and Movember, he says ‘I would have been left wanting in the early days for accessible information about Cancer and my condition, whilst waiting for tests and results to conclude. The quality promotion and accessible education of Cancer as a disease and the fantastic work these organisations Prostate Cancer UK, Macmillan and Movember do in supporting research and more widely patients with less positive prognoses than myself cannot be underestimated and has to be supported’.

We look forward to hearing from you and your support!
