KZN Branch KZN Branch Golf Day KZN Branch Golf Day By Debbie Goldstone On 17 September 2017, Fairways Golf Club hosted a golf tournament in partnership with the Muscular Dystrophy Foundation KZN Branch at the picturesque Amanzimtoti Golf Course. Whilst the start of the day was preceded by ominous weather and light rain, the rest of the day was without rain and presented the golfers with perfect playing conditions. The club was gracious in welcoming representatives of the MDF and promised to consider an annual MDF golf day. Great prizes were presented to golfers bringing in the top scores at the end of the day, sponsored by Fairways Virtual Golf Club and the MDF. A big thank you goes out to Africa Training Centre for generously donating R8 000 and to Fairways Virtual Golf Club for also donating R4 000 to the Muscular Dystrophy Foundation KZN Branch. Thanks also goes to Indhu Meiser, Executive Manager of Dash Luxury Apartments, for generously sponsoring a one-night stay at their luxury apartments. A great thank you to all who assisted and for allowing us this opportunity to create awareness and bring in much needed funds. We raised a total of R13 020 (inclusive of donations and a lucky draw). MDF KZN awareness table at genetics congress An awareness table was set up at the 17th Biennial Congress of the Southern African Society for Human Genetics, which was held on 13 –16 August at the Elangeni Hotel, Durban. The sale of Casual Day stickers and licence disc holders was well supported by the delegates. Members of the MDF took the opportunity to market the foundation and its role in the community. Thank you for your support! 38 Pictured: Namitha Chabilal, Debbie Goldstone and Dr. Pam Rapiti
