Our story

Fundraising Story for Chiltern Bandits, Supporting Prostate Cancer Awareness The Chiltern Bandits Swing for a Cause: A Fundraiser for Prostate Cancer Awareness We’re a group of golfers coming together for a cause that’s incredibly close to our hearts: raising awareness and funds for prostate cancer research. Meet Our Team: The Bandits Behind the Cause Four dedicated golfers have taken the challenge to raise both awareness and funds for this important cause. They’re putting their passion for golf into action, not just for themselves, but to make a real difference in the fight against prostate cancer. Meet the Golfing "Bandits" Jonathan “The Shamrock Shanker” Beale While Jonathan’s golf ball might wander off into the wilderness, his heart and determination are firmly on course. He’s swinging with all the luck of the Irish, raising funds for prostate cancer and hoping his ball lands somewhere near the green. Andy "The Hawk" Marshall: Andy’s golf strategy? Precision, strategy, and making sure no one sees him flub a shot. His nickname doesn’t come from his accuracy on the green, though – it’s because, if you hit a bad shot, Andy will swoop in and tell you exactly how you should have hit it. This time, he’s using his talents to help raise funds for prostate cancer awareness. His goal? To hit the fairway without hitting his dignity into the rough. John ‘Three Putt’ Atkins Master of the green… eventually. John “Three Putt” Atkins is returning to the charity golf circuit with his signature style: booming drives, silky chips, and a putting game so suspenseful it should come with popcorn. Known for turning birdie chances into bogeys with the grace of a tap-dancing elephant, John is risking his dignity (and your patience) to raise money for a great cause. He’s the only golfer who brings a snack to the green — because he knows he’s going to be there a while. When he’s not missing two-footers or aggressively blaming his putter, John is passionately supporting Prostate Cancer UK, and he promises to three-putt his heart out for your generous donations. So chip in (pun very much intended), and help John make a difference — one misread green at a time. Jonny ‘Fore Right’ Stammers Professional shanker. Amateur fundraiser. Jonny Stammers, affectionately known on the course to shout ‘’Fore Right’’ is ready to slice, duff, and accidentally putt his way into your hearts — and your wallets — all in the name of charity. With a swing that defies physics and a handicap that’s more of a warning label, Jonny is living proof that enthusiasm beats accuracy (most of the time). He may not know where the ball is going, but he does know it’s for a great cause. Your donations help him justify his golf addiction to his family, while actually supporting Prostate Cancer UK which is almost as noble. So whether you’re sponsoring him out of love, pity, or morbid curiosity — thank you. And remember: every time you donate, a lost golf ball finds peace. The Challenge: Golfing for a Cure Each member of our team is committed to playing 72 holes of golf in a single day! That’s right – the Chiltern Bandits will tee off at dawn and play through the day, giving their all to raise awareness for prostate cancer and secure donations for vital research. This isn't just about golf – it's about fighting back against a disease that affects 1 in 8 men in their lifetime. Every putt, every swing, and every hole will be dedicated to the men who have fought, are fighting, or will fight prostate cancer. How You Can Help We’re calling on our community, friends, families, and fellow golf lovers to support our fundraising efforts. Here's how you can make a difference: 1. Donate – Every penny counts. Whether it's a small contribution or a larger donation, your support will directly fund prostate cancer research and awareness programs. No donation is too small! 2. Join Us – If you're in the area, come out to our golf course and cheer us on! Your presence and support will keep our spirits high as we push through 72 holes for a cause that’s worth every swing. 3. Spread the Word – Share our fundraising story with your networks. Awareness is just as important as fundraising, and together, we can spread the word about the importance of prostate cancer screenings and research. The Impact of Your Support Your donation isn’t just funding research – it’s funding hope. Hope for early detection, hope for better treatments, and ultimately, hope for a cure. By supporting our challenge, you're helping pave the way for a future where no one has to face prostate cancer alone. Let’s hit this one out of the park – together. Join the Chiltern Bandits in our mission to fight prostate cancer and save lives. To Donate or Learn More, Visit: [Insert Fundraising Page Link] Together, we can make a difference.
