The wonderful family and friends of Brian O’Donnell have recently raised over £7,500 in his memory at their annual charity golf day that took place on Friday 2nd June at Dudsbury Golf club, Dorset.

We would like to say a very HUGE thank you to Brian’s family and friends for making this event possible. Thank you also to everyone who attended the event and made it a success.

This is the 4th charity golf event that Brian’s family and friends have organised- they work extremely hard to honor his memory and raise vital funds for Melanoma Focus. Their dedication is truly inspirational, and Melanoma Focus is extremely grateful for their unwavering support.
