Former PGA Captain Leading The Battle Against Thymic Cancer

Sarah Bennett

Five years ago England Regional Volunteer Manager Wendy Lodder died of thymic carcinoma, a particularly rare chest cancer which affects one in a million people. Her good friend Sarah Bennett, who was the PGA Captain in 2022, has been raising funds and increasing awareness ever since.

To date Bennett has helped raise just short of £50,000 through a collection of efforts which have included running a half marathon, walking 15 miles on what would have been Wendy's birthday and she has just held a fifth golf day at Colchester GC where Bennett grew up and is now an honorary member.
