Story

Hi, 

Thank you for taking  the time to read our story 

I am Ellen Gray I am the Vice Captain of Houghton Le Spring junior golf team. 

I  will be playing golf for 12 hrs, non stop with Jacob Willis our last years captain.

We are both part of the Houghton Le Spring Junior golf team in Sunderland. Jacob has kindly agreed to support me for 12 hrs playing 54 holes on the 25th July 2023, were we will be teeing of at 7am, finishing at 7pm.

If you would like to come and support me and Jacob please come and walk with us, we would love to see you please bring beef hula hoop crisps. 

Prostate Cancer is a cancer I personally want to raise awareness of as it is something close to mine and mams heart.

On the day there will be 2 other golfers invited to joining us play with  each golfer playing an hour to make up a 4ball. 

Its a day of laughter smiles and making memories. 

I want to raise awareness on the day not only of the charity, I want to raise as much money for the charity as we possibly can. Every 3 minutes in the UK a gentleman is told he has prostrate cancer, so for now for 12 hrs on the 25th July me and Jacob are making a difference. 

When Jacob and I finish on the 18th hole please come and join us for refreshments in the club house. 

 Thank you for reading my story Ellen Gray Jacob Willis.
