Jack Ryan's campaign to raise money for a buggy for disabled child

Date published: 25 Sep 2023

Thank you to coach Jack Ryan for sending this report.

"A very big day yesterday, which has been in the works since early July.

Firstly, I have been fundraising for a child that I teach who has a disability, limiting how much he can walk. I would like to say thanks to the individuals who donated financially and some of those who offered auction prizes to increase the donations.

The biggest thanks goes to Kipp Popert, who is the world #1 disability golfer and shares the same condition as the child I teach. Kipp made it possible for the pictures below, which was the child receiving his very own buggy for life!

After making a social media video explaining the situation, Kipp reached out to me and together was able to network with Variety Golf, who were more than happy to help with support financially of the golf buggy.

Variety Golf is an amazing charity that helps children with disabilities, and one individual from that group purchased the buggy after hearing his story.

Last week, Kipp also arranged for the child to watch him at Wentworth, where Kipp won the world disability championship and was allowed total inside the ropes access.

Yesterday, we played at New Zealand GC with Kipp and ex premier league footballers, enjoying a great day and completing the last 2 month's journey."

Well done, and thank you to Jack, Kipp, and Variety Golf for making such a difference in the child's life.
