Local Brain Cancer Survivor Organizes 100-Hole Golf Marathon to Honor Late Cousin and Support Bible Mission

In a heartwarming display of resilience and love, Christopher Lane, a local brain cancer survivor, is gearing up to host an incredible 100-hole golf marathon on April 5 at 9 a.m. This event will take place at the beloved Mount Atlanticus Minotaur Golf in Myrtle Beach. The marathon isn’t just a fun day out on the greens; it holds deep personal significance for Lane as he honors his late cousin who tragically lost his battle with brain cancer at the young age of 36.

A Personal Connection

Lane’s cousin, who inspired this event, faced a tough struggle with brain cancer, and his passing has had a lasting impact on Lane. To keep his cousin’s memory alive and help others facing the same struggle, Lane decided to host this marathon. Every hole-in-one that is made during the event isn’t just a great shot; it will also result in donations to support a noble cause. For every hole-in-one achieved by participants, Lane plans to donate $36—a fitting tribute corresponding to his cousin’s age at the time of his passing.

Getting the Family Involved

Joining Lane in this meaningful endeavor is his son. Demonstrating the spirit of giving, he plans to contribute $12 for each hole-in-one he makes. It’s a wonderful opportunity for families and friends to come together, challenge each other, and support a fantastic mission. Lane is encouraging others to chip in as well, inviting participants to consider contributing $12 or any other amount they feel comfortable with. What a great way to help!

A Mission with Heart

The funds raised during the marathon will help with a mission that’s been close to many hearts—the effort to send Bibles to cancer hospitals and outreach organizations around the world. Lane is proud to be part of an organization that has already made significant strides by sending over 35,000 Bibles across all 50 states and reaching as far as 31 countries. The impact of this mission is tremendous, offering comfort and hope to those battling cancer.
