Whickham Golf Club 24 Hour Challenge

24 Hours of Golf · 1 August 2020
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
The '3 Days for Bobby group' and representatives of Whickham Golf Club have organised a 24 hour Golf challenge in aid of the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation. The challenge will commence at around 12pm on the 01/08/20 and see Darren McCaig, Steve Wilkinson, Jamie Robson and Andrew Mitchell play continuously throughout the night, finishing at 12pm 02/08/20.
In February 2009, Sir Bobby officially opened the Sir Bobby Robson Cancer Trials Research Centre. He was very proud that the centre carried his name.
Sir Bobby said he would give up a year of his life to the charity. In fact he became so passionate about it that despite being very ill, he spent his last 18 months doing all he could to raise funds to help others facing Cancer. He said he hoped it would become his legacy.
We aim to raise additional funds for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation which specialises in the early detection and treatment of Cancer, as well as clinical trials of anti cancer drugs.
Sir Bobby described the foundation as his last and greatest team and also said it wasn't a question of if we beat Cancer but when we beat it.
The 3 Days for Bobby group have raised over £45,000 in aid of the foundation in the past 8 years, this is the first Golf event we have been involved in and are delighted to be in partnership with Whickham Golf Club, we hope you can all help make it a great success.
A huge thank you to the four lads taking part and thank you to all for donating. LETS TACKLE CANCER!
