A huge thank you to everyone who supported the 9th Colin Grant UCAN Golf Day! ⛳

We are delighted to share that this year's event raised an incredible £3,123, bringing the fantastic total raised over the past nine golf days to £17,059.70!

A special thank you to Colin for his continued dedication and hard work in organising this wonderful event in support of UCAN. Your commitment makes a real difference.

We would also like to thank everyone at McDonald Golf Club, Ellon for their warm hospitality and everyone who took part, volunteered, and supported the day. Your generosity and support help us continue our work for people affected by cancer across the North East of Scotland.

Delighted to be the chosen charity for The RenQuip Vipers who are taking on the Beast Race Challenge.

Full info and how you can support them is in the main post.

Thank you for choosing UCAN and good luck to you all.

Team RenQuip is becoming The RenQuip Vipers for charity.

On 12th September, we'll be swapping hydraulic tools for muddy trails as The RenQuip Vipers takes on the Beast Race – a demanding 10km obstacle course packed with mud, water and more than 30 obstacles in the heart of Aberdeenshire.

We're proud to be taking on this challenge to raise money for UCAN, a fantastic north-east charity dedicated to improving the lives of people and families affected by urological cancers through awareness, support and pioneering care.

Every donation, no matter the size, will help support the incredible work UCAN does.

If you'd like to support The RenQuip Vipers, you can donate here:https://www.justgiving.com/page/renquip-vipers-1

We'll be sharing updates as we get closer to the event, along with a few behind-the-scenes moments from training and fundraising.

Wish us luck... we have a feeling we'll need it!
