BUNGS Captain 2009

26th September 2009

Hi Guys, your efforts and generosity in raising money for Rainbows Hospice throughout the year have just been amazing. We have collected a massive 183 pounds at Brocton Hall. That was really fantastic and help breaking the 1000 pounds mark. With the current difficulty in the economy, I am tremendously proud of what we have achieved. You are all real Gents and I am extremely grateful for your support. Thank you so very much and lets hope we can keep this up for the remainder of the year.

To everyone, may I first wish you all good health, success and happiness in 2009. I am indeed very honoured to have your support as Captain of Bungs this year. I like to congratulate Foxy on raising a fantastic sum for Breast Cancer Care and thank him for his hard work in 2008. I will try my utmost to represent our Society with a great sense of fun, dignity and comradeship.

Once again we have another set of great golf courses to enjoy this year. My most sincere thank you to Steve Lloyd for his dedication and organisation in making BUNGS such a success. I look forward to seeing a lot of you gents in this year’s events and I am particularly excited at the prospect of retaining the Challenge Trophy when we do battles in Wales.

My chosen charity is the Rainbows Children’s Hospice at Loughborough. In my work, I come to care for these unfortunate and yet brave kids on a regular basis. They endure uncomfortable procedures yet are able to ride it through with courage and a zest for life. I know I can count on your generosity so we can help put a smile on these young faces.

With my final few words, I wish you all good golfing and hope many of you will be there in March to witness me creaming my drive on the first tee!

Rainbows, a purpose-built children's hospice, opened its doors in 1994. Rainbows is dedicated to meeting the needs of the children and young people from the East Midlands who come to the hospice. These children and young people are all affected by life-limiting and life-threatening conditions.

 

They offer specialist respite stays, symptom management, palliative and end-of-life care for children and young people as well as support for the whole family. Care is provided by a professional team of highly respected nurses, carers and therapists together with a large support team, under the direction of a team of doctors providing specialist paediatric, palliative care for children in the hospice and in the community.
