Worthing’s golfers raise thousands for @CRY_UK

A magnificent £8,254 was raised for Cardiac Risk in the Young by club captain Tim Dunn’s Charity Am-Am tournament at Worthing Golf Club on Friday, 26 June.

Commenting on a wonderful day’s play and fundraising, Tim said: “My aim is to raise enough funds to hold at least one free heart screening session at the Club for the benefit of our members’ children and grandchildren.”

Tim, who’s been a member at the club for forty-five years, became captain in March and chose CRY as his charity for the year. He thanked all those who had contributed to the day’s success, including the greens staff and catering staff.

Tim’s wife, Hannah, has long supported Tom and Claire’s Fund and CRY. Hannah – Claire and Ellen’s cousin – has previously taken part in a sponsored sky dive and an abseil.

Ellen Clabburn said: “It’s incredibly generous of Tim and Hannah to spend so much time and energy supporting not just CRY but us, too. We cannot thank them enough.

“Worthing Golf Club gave us a really warm welcome and we had a brilliant time, the generosity of all those taking part was incredible.

“I’d particularly like to thank Tim for choosing CRY as his charity and Hannah for all her hard work behind the scenes.

“On the day, Hannah was joined by friends who helped ensure the smooth running of the event and wore CRY T-shirts to raise awareness. Some even took time off work to help out, which typified the spirit of the day.

“We are also extremely grateful to all the main sponsors, KTDA Racing, Colliers Kitchens, CB Training, Aerfin Ltd, Bacon and Co Ltd and H.D. Tribes, and to those who so generously supported individual hole sponsorship, the putting competition, raffle and auction. Thank you, as well, to everyone who donated on the day.”
