Sponsorship Opportunities
Whether you’re a business or an individual, there are plenty of ways to get involved in the challenge.
Sponsor a Hole
For a one-off donation of £50 (or more, if you’re feeling generous) you can sponsor a hole for the day. It’s a great way to get involved. Simply add your donation to the ‘Go Fund Me’ page stating the hole you’d like to sponsor if you have a specific preference.
Donate a Prize
We’ll be running raffles and auctions all day. Donations of prizes, no matter how big or small, will make a huge difference. Please drop us a line using the ‘Get in touch’ form below if you can help in any way.
Corporate Sponsorship
We would also love to involve businesses in the challenge. Could you organisation donate a product or service for us to auction on the day? Or perhaps you could you help us by sharing our challenge on your social channels? There are a wide range of opportunities for corporate involvement so please get in touch to discuss the best option for you.

Karen’s Story
Karen has worked as a paramedic, helping people throughout Hertfordshire for over 27 years. She also set up a charity in 2012 aimed at teaching people to teach lifesaving first aid in underprivileged countries.
In 2023, she trained as cabin crew for British Airways and was “living her best life”. Unfortunately, in September 2024, whilst overseas, Karen collapsed. She immediately knew that she had broken her neck. Unable to move any limbs she spent the next 3 hours calling for help. Eventually, she was found by a security team, and an ambulance was called.
That same evening, thanks to British Airways, she was airlifted to the Jackson Memorial Centre in Miami, a world-renowned trauma and spinal injuries hospital. Following assessment, Karen was informed that she had collapsed due to a saddle embolism spanning both lungs. She underwent manual manipulation of the dislocated vertebrae in her neck, which was pressing on the spinal cord, and then surgery to remove a disc and insert a metal plate between two fractured vertebrae.
After 6 weeks of intensive care followed by initial rehab in the USA, Karen was repatriated by Air Ambulance to the UK. Following brief stays at St Mary’s Paddington and Hillingdon hospitals, she was moved to the National Spinal Injuries Centre at Stoke Mandeville Hospital, where she remains, undergoing an intensive rehabilitation programme.
Karen is now tetraplegic due to the level of her spinal injuries at C5. The prognosis from the consultant is that Karen is unlikely to regain the ability to walk, but she remains committed to doing everything she can to disprove that theory. Her strength and determination have shone through, and she is beginning to regain some use of her arms and, with electrical stimulation, is learning to grip and release with her hands.
Karen is such a caring and supportive person and will be humbled by anything we can raise to help her. Despite her career change, she has supported many ambulance staff and remains a firm friend of many. She is a strong woman facing this devastating event with amazing determination, so please give whatever you can, big or small, and share far and wide.
