THIS summer, charity Marie Curie is calling on golfers and golf enthusiasts in Dumfries and Galloway to rally friends and family and organise a golf day to help ensure people living with a terminal illness get the care and support they need.
Supporters can also choose to get sponsored to do something different such as hold a golf-athon by playing a set number of holes, or by playing for 24-hours.
Every person that signs up will receive a free Marie Curie golf marker and access to a step-by-step golf guide, golf fundraising tips, invitations, posters, social media graphics, bunting and more.
Marie Curie is dependent on fundraising and public donations. The money raised will help the charity continue to provide expert care and support for people living with any illness they are likely to die from and their loved ones.
Lindsay Davenport, Marie Curie community fundraiser for Dumfries and Galloway, said: “Whether you’re a golfing pro, new to the sport or just keen to try something fun, it would be tee-rific if you could get on the green and kickstart some friendly competition with your family and friends.
“Every five minutes, someone dies without the care they need. By fundraising and hosting events like this, you can help change that and bring Marie Curie’s expert end of life care to more people.”
