Two award-winning CBA chefs will walk more than 20 miles whilst playing 72 holes of golf in one day to raise money for charity.

CBA Restaurant Manager Chris Lapsley and Chef Steven Allder will take on the challenge during the summer holidays as part of Macmillan Cancer Support’s Longest Day Golf Challenge.

The duo, along with two other friends, hope to raise £1,000 for the charity.

Mr Lapsley said: “The challenge is the equivalent of almost walking a marathon whilst playing 72 holes of golf.

“We want to raise £1,000 between us and so far we’ve managed to raise about £500 through cake sales, tea mornings and sponsorship.

“Macmillan Cancer Support’s nurses don’t receive any Government funding – all their work is paid for by fundraisers.

“There aren’t many people whose lives haven’t been affected directly or indirectly by cancer so we hope people will support us.” 

The golfers will take part in the challenge on Thursday 6^th August.

They will begin at Orton Meadows Golf Course in Peterborough at 4.30am and will go on to play at Thorpe Wood Golf Course in Peterborough and Oundle

Golf Club before finishing their challenge at Priors Hall Golf Club in Corby at about 9.30pm.

Sponsorship forms are available from the CBA Restaurant.

Anyone who wants to sponsor the golfers, who are known collectively as The Mexicans after the golf society they belong to, can also do so online by visiting their Just Giving page at https://www.justgiving.com/the-mexicans/
