Get ready for a tee-rific day out at Bolton Golf Club with games, food, and fun in aid of the Motor Neurone Disease association (MNDA).
Golf players and fans across the area are invited to take part in the event, at Bolton Golf Club on Thursday May 21, which will see teams of up to four pitted against each other to complete the course.
Tickets are £50, with all proceeds going towards the Manchester and District branch of the Motor Neurone Disease Association.
A MNDA spokesperson said: "We are really excited to be hosting this golf day!
"It's all about having a fun day out while raising money for a fantastic cause which all goes to supporting local families affected by motor neurone disease."
The Manchester and District MNDA runs four support groups per month in Bolton, Rochdale, Stockport, and Tameside, alongside a branch get together once a month in Sale.
It offers support for those living with Motor Neurone disease and their families, with coffee, support, and conversation meetings held on the third Friday of each month between 10am and 2pm.
The Bolton meetings take place at the Bolton Hospice Wellbeing Hub on Queens Park Street, Chorley New Road.
Motor neurone disease is a rapidly-progressing disease that affects the brain and spinal cord.
With no known cure, it kills a third of people within a year and more than half within two years of diagnosis.
Six people die every day in the UK from motor neurone disease, and another six people are diagnosed with it.
It causes a degeneration of the nerves, affecting muscles, and causing increased difficulties with movement, speech, and eventually, breathing.
The most famous sufferer of motor neurone disease was Stephen Hawking, who lived for over fifty years following his diagnosis at the age of 21.
