As keen golfers, David and Philip Boyden are about to undertake their greatest golf challenge yet.

On Monday 13^th June the father and son team will attempt to play 100 holes of golf in a single day, in support of St Helena Hospice as part of the Birkett Long £50 Challenge.

Teeing off at first light at Colchester Golf Club, the Boydens will attempt to play 100 holes before dark and have a fundraising target of £2000.

St Helena Hospice helps local people face incurable illness and bereavement, supporting them, their families, friends and carers.

• £10 could help a patient staying at The Hospice to keep their strength up by providing nutritious, home cooked meals for a day;
• £25 could help a patient to return home to their loved ones after a stay at The Hospice, being supported by a nurse to help get
  their pain under control;
• £60 could provide a family facing the death of a loved one with advice and tools to support children to open up and share their
  feelings from our family support team;
• £120 could help someone struggling with the traumatic death of a loved one to be supported through six sessions of bereavement counselling;
• £500 could ensure that patients and families in distress receive the expert advice and guidance they need over the phone by keeping the SinglePoint office running for a day;
• £1000 could provide pain management and relief from complex symptoms for 12 hours with help from their team of doctors.

Thank you for your support for this very worthy cause.
