There’s still time to enter a team into a special Cooper & Hall golf day to raise money for Director Graham Hall’s wheelchair athlete son Callum.It’s nearly three years since Callum was paralysed after treading on a sea urchin while sailing off the Greek islands.Since the tragedy Callum has fought back to become an accomplished wheelchair racer, achieving UK Athletics accreditation.

Callum’s remarkable achievements, including playing wheelchair basketball for Sheffield Steelers and returning to university in September to complete his sports degree, are paid for from a Personal Injury Trust, funded by family, friends, companies, and even anonymous donors who want to help.
Events like the golf day keep Callum on course for GB Athletics status, when he will qualify for grants to fund his athletics career.
Graham said: “Callum is a very determined young man. All the support we get helps him carry on doing the things he loves.”
