Story
On June 20th, a team of 8 golfers are undertaking a once in a lifetime challenge for a life changing cause. They will be playing golf for 24 hours non-stop in the Arctic Circle. Their goal is to raise enough money to purchase more Paragolfers.
The Golf Trust's vision is that everyone should be given the opportunity to play golf. The Paragolfer is a specialist vehicle that enables a user the life-changing experience of being able to stand up to play golf. A Paragolfer user may have neuromuscular and spinal impairments.
As well as raising money to purchase a Paragolfer, the aim is to raise money to deliver projects that utilise the Paragolfer too. Funding the coaching and support costs to enable as many people as possible to access golf opportunities.
The team will be travelling to the Arctic Circle and embarking on a challenging 24 hours playing golf at Lofoten Links in Norway.
One of the most wonderful and unique things about Lofoten is the light, and for a brief period each year the Midnight Sun transforms Lofoten into nothing but light for 24 hours a day.
The significance of playing golf for 24 hours is to highlight 24% of the UK population has a registered disability and the goal is to raise a minimum of £24,000.
The team will only stop for bathroom breaks. This challenge will be physically and mentally hard for the team as their body will have to adjust to the 24 hour sunlight.
Any support you could give will enhance the lives of many people living with a disability and their families.
