Skipton Golf Club will host a golf day next month to raise money for local boy, Luke.
The golf day taking place on 12th June will raise money for 2025 Pride of Britain, Child of Courage winner, Luke Mortimer.
Luke at the age of just 7 years old contracted meningitis and septicaemia and lost both the lower part of his legs and arms.
Since, Luke and his family have fundraised for multiple charities including SELFA which help children and families in the Craven area experiencing vulnerabilities, to build resilience, thrive, and achieve.
The golf day in partnership with Skipton Golf Club will also raise money for Luke as his bionic prosthetics and adaptations which enable Luke to partake in school life, cost £20,000 per arm and legs start at £75,000 and need to be replaced as Luke grows.
The day will start at 10:30am and there will be competitions for:
- Longest drive
- Nearest the pin
- Nearest the wavy line
A raffle and auction will follow.
Teams cost £220 and you can find out more via THISISLUKE Facebook page here.
