Hi folks, thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Some of you may, some may not know that I am the Captain of the Womens Section at Lancaster Golf Club this year. Every year, the captains choose a charity to support, and Alex (Club Captain) has agreed to us jointly supporting the Pituitary Foundation, an organisation that has been an incredible support to me over the years, and continues to be.

We are running a number of events through the golf club, but I want to share this to my wider network to ensure I raise a decent amount for them.

The Pituitary Foundation supports people with chronic endocrine disease, including Acromegaly which seems to be my remaining lifelong companion since age 28. It's a very tough condition caused by a tumor in the pituitary gland (in the base of the brain). This tumor damages or obliterates the pituitary function - which happens to be the main controller of your hormones, i.e. manages all your major organs. The treatment for this is neurosurgery, followed by radiotherapy, a difficult medical regime, numerous other related operations. I could list here the treatments I have had, but I think I'll run out of characters.......

Any amount is most welcome and my target for the year is to raise £4000 with a combination of fundraising events and donations.

Thanks for reading & also reaching into your pocket if able! Please don't forget to gift aid!

Thanks, 

Lol & Alex
