OUR STORY
In 2020, four old guys, Dave Lafleur, Lyle Robideau, Kelly Ramstead, and Mike Pelletier, played 54 holes of golf and didn't suffer too badly. Now on June 23rd, 2021, after recovering from last year, they have decided to punish themselves even more by going for 72 holes in 24 hours at the Raven Crest Golf and Country Club in Edmonton. This year you can cheer them on by helping them achieve their goal of raising $1,000 to support advancements in research & care at the Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute.
Dave, Lyle, Kelly, and Mike want to thank JP at the Raven Crest Golf and Country Club and the University Hospital Foundation for helping to make this happen!
