The club said it will be a fantastic opportunity to learn more about Parkinson’s UK, Gary’s inspiring challenges documented on his website garyschallenges.com, and the future of the football club.
Gary, a pillar of the Whitchurch United community, has been battling Parkinson’s but hasn’t let it slow him down.
Awarded a CBE for his incredible charity work, Gary will be running a full marathon before participating in the golf day itself.
The club are also seeking help from the community to make the event a success. Anyone interested in getting involved with the golf day or the football club in general is encouraged to contact the club directly.
