A huge thank you to High Legh Park Golf Club in Cheshire for hosting a Captains Charity Golf Day last week as part of their Charity of the Year support for MedEquip4Kids.

21 teams took part in the golf event. Afterwards they were joined by their families, friends and social members of the club to enjoy an evening of great food and fundraising.

Two auctions, a raffle and an envelope donation draw raised over £9,000 for MedEquip4Kids. The final total includes fees from challenge competitions during the golf day and a bake sale at the halfway house still to be confirmed. Thanks to all the local companies and club members who donated such fantastic prizes.

Two staff from Barclays also assisted on the night. Barclays have kindly agreed to match-fund contributions from their staff, which means another £1,000 goes towards funding vital hospital equipment to benefit local children.

“Infections of the central nervous system need urgent and appropriate treatment. Most laboratory methods can take from 24 to 48 hours for diagnosis of bacterial meningitis and three to seven days for diagnosis of viral meningitis or encephalitis. The new equipment will mean we can get results of these tests in around an hour. We’ll be able to inform the clinicians of a positive result, allowing targeted therapy and reassurance to the patients and families. Just as important is the reporting of negative results, which may enable treatment withdrawal and possibly a shorter hospital stay.”
