Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

 

The last time I asked people to sponsor me I was 12 years old and Help the Aged got the pennies.   I have never been the doing type, much rather be the donor.

 

But that changed this month with the passing of my wife's stepmum, Jan Whilding at the age of just 52, following a six year battle with an inoperable brain tumour.

 

She was much loved by all that knew her, and was so very proud of all of her family.

 

This is my chance to thank the people that helped her most in the last few weeks of her life at Nightingale House Hospice in Wrexham.

 

On the 22nd June I will attempt to play 4 consecutive rounds of golf at Pavenham Park Golf Club.   During the day I will walk around 20 miles, make almost 400 golf swings and it will take more than 16 hours.  This is a golfer's marathon.  Please inspire me to be successful with your generosity.  Every penny will help people like Jan and their families at a time when they need it most.

 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.  

 

Thank you.

 

James
