A charity golf day took place last week to remember two people from the same family who passed away during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Joel Bacchus’s Memorial Charity Day, which was organised by his brothers, Elias and Lewis, was in memory of the former, along with their father, Lenus.

Both Lenus and Joel died of strokes and Covid related illnesses during 2020 and 2021, with the event, which took place on May 19 at Wycombe Heights, remembering the two relatives.
Additionally, all the funds raised went to Stroke Association and Cancer Research, as one of Elias’ siblings is also battling with the illness.
More than 25 people took part in the all-day event which saw numerous prizes get won via raffle.
Items included a signed Wycombe Wanderers shirt and four tickets to a game next season, along with a signed Manchester United kit.

Elias said: “A huge thank you to all those who took part in the golfing event, and made it a very enjoyable day.
“The golfing was won by Marcel Oxlade, who drew with Clayton Mclean but won on count back.
“The day exceeded all expectations and raised a total amount of £1,520 which was split equally between the Stroke Association and Cancer Research UK/
“This memorial event will be repeated next year with a venue to be announced.”
