More than 120 golfers turned out in force to support the Charlie’s Trophy event at Dainton Park Golf Club, Ipplepen, raising more than £12,000 for various charities.
The charity golf day named after Firewatch CEO Martin Smith’s three and a half year old grandson Charlie Lawlor, was to raise awareness of Rubinstein – Taybi Syndrome (RTS).
The syndrome affects all areas of development.
The RTS support group will be the main beneficiary and will help fund the support groups bi-annual weekend meetings, where families with RTS members get together to both support each other and assist researchers in understanding the syndrome which effects just 1 in 125,000 babies born in the UK.
