Cancer fighter Nick Edmund completes epic 2,000km golf-walk.
-
Two-time cancer survivor Nick Edmund has successfully completed his gruelling marathon golf-walk along the entire 2,000km length of Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way, carrying a set of golf clubs on his back. The 57-year-old former Faldo Design Managing Director received a tumultuous welcome from family, friends and well-wishers as he arrived at Old Head of Kinsale Golf Links in County Cork, where he raised the Global Golf4 Cancer flag after playing the stunning clifftop 4th hole.
It was the culmination of an astonishinglyheroic, two-part endeavour for Nick to raise awareness for Cancer Care West in Ireland, and of other cancer-fighting initiatives within the wider golfing community, by playing the 4th hole at the 40 golf clubs he passed along the way and planting a Global Golf4 Cancer flag for his charity campaign.
