CountyArmagh Golf Club Captain Martin Oliver presents a cheque for £1804 to Sandra Spence, Marie Curie Community Fundraiser. The money was raised in Captain's Charity collection on Captain's Day.
“I've always known County Armagh Golf Club to very generous towards local charities but this wonderful figure topped all my expectations.
“Marie Curie and their nurses hold a special place in my heart, particularly since I lost my wife Helen through cancer. They were there every day for her, and were a big help to me and our daughters at a very difficult time. This fund-raising effort has allowed me to say thank-you in a small way to Marie Curie. To all those who contributed I also want to say a big thank-you.”
