This summer, the UK’s leading end of life charity Marie Curie is calling on golfers and golf enthusiasts in Nottinghamshire to rally friends and family and organise a golf day to help ensure people living with a terminal illness get the care and support they need.
Supporters can also choose to get sponsored to do something different such as hold a golf-athon by playing a set number of holes or by playing for 24-hours.
Every person that signs up will receive a free Marie Curie golf marker and access to a step-by-step golf guide, golf fundraising tips, invitations, posters, social media graphics, bunting and more – to help make their fundraiser a hole in one.
Marie Curie is dependent on fundraising and public donations. The money raised will help Marie Curie continue to provide expert care and support for people living with any illness they are likely to die from and their loved ones.
It will also help fund Marie Curie’s free Information and Support line which is available to anyone with an illness they’re likely to die from and those close to them. It offers practical and emotional support on everything from symptom management and day-to-day care to financial information and bereavement support. In Nottinghamshire, Marie Curie provides a companion service that provide the emotional and practical support you want – at home, in hospital or over the phone.
Matt Nickson, Marie Curie Community Fundraiser for Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, said: “Whether you’re a golfing pro, new to the sport or just keen to try something fun, it would be tee-rific if you could get on the green and kickstart some friendly competition with your family and friends.”
