I've helped fund 18 hours of a research assistant’s time to work on life saving cancer research.

The sequel

Last year went quite well overall; I completed the 4 rounds before the sun went down, hit some half-decent golf shots and raised a bit of cash for the Cancer Council. There is still room for improvement though so I’m back again for round two!

Since my last Longest Day in January a few changes have happened; most importantly Paige received a bone marrow transplant in February and thankfully responded quite well with minimal GVHD, and has since proven as resilient as ever getting back to working full time & even taking on additional work with ACU. 
We also moved back into our own apartment, I upgraded my car and I got another group of year 12’s through their HSC course. 
During this time unfortunately golf has taken a bit of a back seat and I only played once in about 6 months, however I still have a full blown golfing addiction and I’m getting back into it again. 
With it being the school holidays at the moment, I have managed to play a few rounds again and while I still feel a bit rusty & lacking some distance control, there are some positive signs. I also renewed my membership at Bayview and will be finalising a date for the next challenge in the near future.

This year I have set a few more goals I hope to achieve; firstly I hope I can raise more money than last year for the Cancer Council given the help they have given us in the past it seems only fair to try and return the favour.
Secondly, is naturally to complete the challenge of 72 holes of golf in one day ideally in fewer shots than the last attempt but as long as it’s done before the sun goes down I’ll be happy. To try and achieve this I’ll continue putting in the hours and hopefully lowering the handicap. 
Finally, cliche as it may sound is to have a bit of fun. Golf as frustrating as it may be at the time does help me unwind usually and is always better with company. To help with this last goal, hopefully I can have some support along the way whether that’s hitting balls out on the course with me, joining on the day walking the course or in the clubhouse for the 73rd, words of encouragement or financial support.

More updates will follow in the near future and if anyone wants to join for the day itself please let me know :)

I'm taking on Cancer Council's The Longest Day...

...the ultimate golf challenge to complete four rounds of golf in one day!

I'll be testing my skill, strength, and stamina to raise funds for life saving cancer research.

1 in 2 Australians will be affected by cancer by the age of 85, I want to help change this by making every hole count!

Please sponsor me today, because tackling cancer takes all of us.

Together, let's tee off for a cancer free future.

Nick, you’re (almost, wink) as much of an inspiration as Paige is, and we love you both. Good luck on you Longest Day and so sorry we can’t be there to cheer you on.
