Golfing Marathon to help beat brain cancer
We are Bob Warner and Andy Norris from Bedfordshire and in June this year we completed the Five5s golf challenge The Five5s Golf Challenge is a golfing marathon playing 5 rounds of golf each day, for 5 days, on 5 courses, in 5 different countries and raising £5k each for the Seve Foundation. The challenge started in Ireland on Monday 23rd of June and continued through Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and finished in England on Friday 27th June. It saw us walk well over 125 miles and travel over a thousand miles door to door whilst completing 450 holes of golf. We played and walked non stop from 5am until 9.30pm everyday and averaged 4 hours sleep each night. We have chosen to raise cash for the Seve Foundation , set up by the great golfer Seve Ballesteros in 2009 working with Cancer Reasearch UK for research into brain cancer. We have been personally affected by brain cancer in our family and the charity fits our challenge particularly well. Our motivation is for the families that have been through or are going through the pain and suffering of seeing this disease affect their loved ones. So our efforts are dedicated to all those people and hopefully we can go some way to avoiding more people having to go through the same.
