On June 24th, Addison Lovsin hosted his one man Golfathon from 4:35AM to 9:05PM. Throughout the day he golfed a total of 234 holes, which included seven eagles and 40 birdies.
“I’m happy to support a great cause,” said Addison Lovsin, PGA of Canada Member and Assistant Professional at Spallumcheen Golf and Country Club. “It was very fun. The members were very supportive, and for some of the rounds I had a few competitive matches with the staff.”
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also referred to as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder that affects the person’s motor neurons that carry messages to the muscles resulting in weakness and wasting in arms, legs, mouth, throat and elsewhere; typically the person is immobilized within two to five years of the initial diagnosis. There is no known cause or cure yet, but there is hope through the ALS Society of BC.
Proceeds from the Golfathon for ALS provide crucial support services to ALS patients and their families, friends, and caregivers.
Help support your local golf professionals to raise awareness and funds for the ALS Society of BC.
