Past SLGA President Emma Wilson who was caddying at the Senior Home Internationals at Elie Golf Club was delighted to have raised £551 for Breakthrough Breast Cancer by creating and receiving donations for her heather sprays. 

She says "Thank you all very much. I know that Breakthrough Breast Cancer will be delighted especially as October is breast cancer month to go PINK."

Well we went Purple instead.

The Scottish Team were  delighted for Emma and her efforts towards Breakthrough Breast Cancer and said  - "What a super amount you have raised, and just a tremendous reward for all your long hours creating the heather sprays and for encouraging all the purple support at Elie..  How good was it to see so many with their purple heather! "

All the Ladies of Elie & Earlsferry  were so friendly and indeed the men we came across the same, and just made us feel so welcome.. So I'm sure everybody would go home remembering Elie as a wonderful venue, and a great golf course as well.

Thanks again and well done to you!

The Elie ladies were also full of praise of everyone and they just thought that hosting the event was fantastic.

Over and above the £551 raised, Emma has also now raised £6,922 for Breakthough Breast Cancer  with her pink sock campaign !!

Emma recently updated money for Breakthrough Breast Cancer which is currently at £4453 and counting. If you know of any club who might be interested in taking socks let her know as she still has loads ready to be filled.

Little socks have raised lots of cash

EMMA WILSON, from Kirkcaldy, (the Midlands Vets Vice Captain) lost her 87-year-old mother to breast cancer last year.

Afterwards she started raising money for Breakthrough Breast Cancer and was slightly surprised when they got in touch to ask if she’d undertake a challenge to raise £1000

A Message from Emma
I can report I am taking a cheque for £775 tomorrow and my total so far is £2978. If any club or person wishes to collect I have plenty wee pink socks knitted just let me know.

It is great to have cheerie news instead of credit crunch all the time.


A huge thanks to all how have contributed.
