I am taking on this Golf challenge for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity. Last year Dean, a very close family friend and someone who has always been there supporting me was diagnosed with Stage 4 non small cell lung cancer with other metastases. He is receiving treatment at the Royal Marsden Hospital.

The treatment and support he receives is amazing and all possible because the hard work that the doctors, nurses and research staff do to help patients and their families. Raising funds by donations - no matter how small helps this work to continue.

I want to give back to The Royal Marsden to show my appreciation for all they are doing and continue to do each and every day for Dean and all families who’s lives are affected by this horrible disease.
