Four friends recently gathered together at Lyme Regis Golf Club to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support by completing four rounds of golf within one day as part of Macmillan Cancer Support’s “Longest Day Golf Challenge”.

Jake Richards, George Richards, Jake Collier and Will Richards walked almost 25 miles and 50,000 steps, playing 72 holes over 12 hours. The weather varied, with a lovely crisp morning in the sunshine, changing to rain, wind and fog by lunchtime.

Friends and family gathered at various times to show their support, provide food and drinks, and walk the course with the team, as well as members wishing them well throughout the day.

Each member of the team has been affected by friends or family suffering with cancer, and wanted to take on this challenge to raise money for a charity that is close to all their hearts. To date, the fundraising total has surpassed £1250, with donations continuing to roll in.

The team are all so grateful for the support throughout, from fundraising to moral support. The day wouldn’t have been feasible without the kindness of Lyme Regis Golf Club, the staff and members who were brilliant and the course was in pristine condition.
