Raising a bit of money for Skin Cancer ...

As a regular golfer I cannot believe the number of people at the golf club that have experience with skin cancer. I am a Pom but for Australians it seems Skin Cancer is an almost routine hazard, many of whom say it was their years as a young Australian playing sport, unprotected, that did the damage. Skin Cancer appears to be just a matter of "time in the sun".

Emma, my wife, lost her father recently to melanoma. Too early. He wasn't sporting, but he was a fabulous gardener, and those hours spent in the garden, unprotected, were his downfall.

It  turns out Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world with two in three Australians diagnosed with skin cancer by the age of 70. It'll be higher for golfers.

The Longest Day out - Monday 14th December 2020 - is a Cancer Council initiative for golfers to combine golf and fund-raising. My Team of four is going to play 72 holes of golf each - 288 holes in all - in one day - with the support of our golf clubs and sponsors.

Please sponsor me today, to make every hole count!

Thank you for your generous donation.

Enjoy they day. I wish I was able to play in something like this with my father, a die hard golfer (and keen investor/trader) who fought hard, but succumbed to melanoma at 67. He was told that it was the years of damage at an early age that caused his problems, so hopefully your younger years in UK sun will reduce the chances of any issues.

Please look after yourself and put on sunscreen a hat! A great cause, notwithstanding a mega golf day in the sun for skin cancer is up there with a night at the casino for the financially vulnerable!

Hi Marcus, Simon Abel here your friendly ICU doc. Great cause. I Have had 4 BCC's removed, the first in my 30's - I'm now 56. Used to get fried as a kid although have been pretty good since I studied melanomas at the age of 21. Pasty Welsh skin I'm afraid. No good for years of australian cricket and lifesaving. My best friend at school is still alive and disease free after having had widespread metastatic melanoma 8 years ago. All due to research and new genetic pathway inhibitor drugs. His predicted survival was 18 months. Got to see all his kids grow up into adults. Thanks for your advice and newsletter. I've had my best year ever, but will probably screw it all up next year. Good luck with the golf and merry xmas to you and your staff. Cheers, Simon

More power to your elbow Marcus. I gave up golf after playing on the Liphook course in Hampshire and hitting a moving train on the London to Portsmouth line. Not my game.

I'm a MT Subscriber, so good luck! I gave up golf years ago when someone asked me what my handicap was and the only answer I could give was "my 4 -wood slice".
