A team from the 4 star Lea Marston Hotel and Spa in Sutton
Coldfield took part in the Macmillan Longest Day Golf Challenge.
4 Lea Marston staff
members (Darren Lewis, James Lewis, Harry Kelly and Dan Parsons) were joined by
a team of 7 Lea Marston Golf Members to take part in the Macmillan Longest Day
Golf Challenge.
On the 21st
June, a very typical rainy summer’s day, each team member succeeded in playing
72 holes of golf, 300 shots and a 20 mile walk on the Lea Marston Golf Course.
Each team member collected sponsorship prior to completing the
challenge and collectively raised £2000 for Macmillan Cancer Support. Macmillan supports millions of people
affected by cancer. Lea Marston Golf Manager Darren Lewis is delighted with this achievement,
“It was an exhausting day for all involved, but we are delighted in raising this
money to support the Macmillan charity”. Through doing this we will be fundraising for Macmillan which
supports millions of people affected by cancer.

is to play 100 holes. Through doing this we will be fundraising for Macmillan

The
challenge was part of a nationwide initiative which will see some 300 teams up
and down the country playing four rounds of golf in one day. Last year,
£395,000 was raised nationally and it is hoped about £500,000 will be raised
this year.
