What an absolutely incredible day at the Merle’s Wish Annual Golf Day 2026! 💙

This year’s turnout was our biggest yet — every single place was taken — and we are truly so grateful for all the support shown to Merle’s Wish. As this month would have been our beautiful Mum Merle’s heavenly 65th birthday, it made the day feel even more special to see it so well supported.

Lisa Henning Jody Lilwall Wade Davies, and Duane Arthur would like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us, donated, supported and helped make the day such a success.

A huge special thank you to Zac Williams, who worked incredibly hard getting everyone involved and helping raise such an amazing amount of money with his magic betting skills!

And what a competition it was! HUGE congratulations to our winner, Lee Sparks, who travelled all the way from Portsmouth to be there and scored an impressive 26 points!

But it certainly wasn’t an easy win — Lee and Wade Walker went into a playoff that took FOUR holes to decide the winner! What an amazing game under so much pressure. Huge well done to both of you!

2nd Place – Wade Walker
3rd Place – Leighton Sparks

Best Team Award went to “All About Balls” — well done team!

Most importantly, together we raised an incredible £1,705!! 🤍
Our biggest golf day yet and our biggest golf fundraiser ever!

Thank you all so much for your continued love and support. It truly means the world to us and to Merle’s Wish. 💙

Happiest Heavenly Birthday to our lovely Merle 💜✨

Today, Merle is celebrating her 65th birthday up in the sky 🤍
A wonderful mum, nan, daughter,big sister and friend — and the heart behind Merle’s Wish.

We like to think she knows just how much good she started. Because of her, so many people facing cancer have had support, kindness and someone by their side when they needed it most… just as she always wanted.

Today feels a little bit emotional, but mostly full of love. We’re remembering her love and her unbelievable strength. Merle wasn't ready to go and we were not ready to let her go...

Happy birthday, Merle — we hope you’re celebrating in your own special way today 🎂💫
Always in our hearts, always part of everything we do.

Wishing all Merle's Wish supporters a very happy Easter. Time is precious so please take time with those who matter most...
