SWINGING SUCCESS The sound of golf balls hitting iron
is normal at Lookout Point Country Club, but was a little different on Monday. Golf professional JJ Alexander chipped away in the second 1,000 Ball Challenge, to raise funds for Wellspring Niagara. The not-for-profit charitable organization offers free social, emotional, psychological and informational support to people with the cancer. “It’s great to give back with something I love to do,” Alexander said. He has used Wellsping’s services himself. “We’re a big family here at Lookout so the entire day has been awesome bringing awareness and raising much needed dollars.” Alexander sold out the $5 spon-
sored balls and with donations raised $10,000 for Wellspring, which will build a new centre in Pelham. The golf club’s donation is in memory of former club member and friend Carol Smith, who recently passed away from a rare form of Melanoma. “While she was battling the disease, her treatment was not covered in her health-care plan,” said Alexander, “so we decided to help out by starting this challenge in 2013.” Since opening in June 2001, more than 46,000 people have used Wellspring programs. They are run by volunteers and financed by donations like the 1000 ball challenge. “It is vital with so many programs at Wellspring,” volunteer Sheila
Massie said. “Three of my friends have gone through them and that’s what got me involved.” Raffles, barbecue and good weather helped the day fly by. A holein-one drew cheers after chipping over 500 balls just feet away from the pin. “There really is nothing too hard about doing this compared to what (cancer patients) are going through,” said Alexander. “It’s just a great opportunity to give back to something I’ve used during my fight with cancer.” Donations are still being accepted, contact Lookout Point Country Club at 905-892-2639. You can also donate by calling Wellspring Niagara at 905-382-6121 or visit www. wellspring.ca/Niagara.
