The Revenue Club poised to take on The Longest Day Challenge
Eleven brave golfers from the growth marketing agency for UK and Irish golf clubs are about to embark on an epic 72 hole challenge in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support. Despite a broad variety of fitness levels, the team will aim to complete four rounds together in a single day with the objective of avoiding injury and raising £1,000 for the charity.
The event has close personal relevance for company director, Chris Knight who was diagnosed with stage three bowel cancer in September last year. The seriousness of his condition led to a three month course of chemotherapy at Clatterbridge Cancer Centre, before undergoing surgery at the Countess of Chester Hospital in March.
‘At the age of 38, the discovery of developed tumours by the medical team was a terrifying prospect, but thankfully they were found just in time and treatment and removal was possible. The care I received from the NHS staff was incredible, and the initial signs are very positive for a full recovery.’ Said Chris who will be in sufficient health to take on the challenge himself following a quick recuperation period.
Travelling from all four corners of the UK, it is a three-line whip for the eager employees who will be playing at the central location of Ansty Golf Centre, near Coventry, supported by one of the UK’s biggest golf operators, Get Golfing on 11th July 2024.
‘We are delighted to do all we can in support of Chris and the team in their fundraising efforts over the coming month. The Revenue Club is a close partner of ours and they play a vital role in our day to day operations. It is an impressive test of golfing endurance for a fantastic cause, and we are so pleased to see Chris back on his feet and fully involved.’ Said Dan Lucking the Sales Director at Get Golfing.
The charity supports those suffering with cancer across the UK and anyone wishing to donate to the campaign can do so via The Revenue Club’s fundraising page.
