Cois Buekes 3 Nation Cycle Challenge

7th Hole,Holywood Golf Club

PGA Professional Paul Gray is embarking on 350 mile cycle in aid of Marie Curie Cancer Care and is looking for the support of his fellow Professionals and golf industry colleagues. 

In November 2010 a friend of Paul's, Cois Beukes, lost his 10 month battle with a rare and aggressive form of Cancer known as Sarcoma and Cois' passing at 35 years of age is a tragic loss to all that knew him. He leaves behind a loving wife and daughter. 

Cois proved to be an inspiration throughout his life and through his passion and involvement with rugby as a player and a coach, Cois had an incredible way of caring for others around him. An honest, loyal and loving man, Cois' memory lives on. 

To pay tribute to Cois, in aid of Marie Curie Belfast, his wife and a group of 29 friends have decided to embark on a charity ride from Cardiff to Belfast. The Cois Beukes 3 Nations Cycle challenge will cover 350 miles over 4 days through Wales, England and Ireland. The journey will mirror that of Cois when he first moved from South Africa to Cardiff in 1997. 

Two of the four days will be spent cycling nearly 100 miles per day through the Brecon Beacons and Snowdonia national parks. Areas that are believed to have the odd hill! Its going to be a tough challenge so please get behind the team to raise money for a worthy cause.
