Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

UPDATE: Delighted to confirm I completed the challenge at Royal Liverpool golf club on Tuesday 13 June. 500km from The Old Course, St Andrews on a bike called Barry.

Thank you so much for sponsoring me, I really appreciate. All the donations will help fund prostate cancer research to save men’s lives.

Last year I walked 150 miles from Prestwick Golf Club to St Andrews to celebrate the 150th Open Championship, my favourite golf tournament of the year, raising money for Prostate Cancer UK.

This year I'm doing things a little bit differently. From the Old Course at St Andrews I'll cycle 500km to Royal Liverpool, the venue for this year's Open Championship. I'll be cycling around 125km a day and playing a bit of golf too at St Andrews, Carlisle GC, Lancaster GC and at Royal Liverpool to finish. Keep an eye out for some special guests joining me along the way too!

Saturday 10 June: The Old Course, St Andrews to Biggar

Sunday 11 June: Biggar to Carlisle Golf Club

Monday 12 June: Carlisle Golf Club to Lancaster Golf Club

Tuesday 13 June: Lancaster Golf Club to Royal Liverpool Golf Club

I'd be very grateful if you can sponsor me and help beat prostate cancer -a disease claiming the lives of one man every 45 minutes. The time it takes to play 3 holes of golf. Just think about that for a moment. That's a Dad, brother, uncle, partner or best mate every 45 minutes.

I hope you can help us beat this terrible disease. I'd really appreciate your support.

Best wishes

Rick
