Will Wright is coming home to play a gruelling 100 holes at the clifftop Bridport and West Dorset Golf Course this week, to raise funds for two charities supporting people with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME). 

Management consultant Will, son of Helen and Nick Wright, who live in Loders, just outside Bridport, will start at dawn on Wednesday, May 31 and hopes to finish his marathon, 30-mile challenge well before sunset. 

Will, who plays off a handicap of five, now lives in Manchester with his partner Mica. He won the Director's Cup at the Bridport and West Dorset Club in 2012, and it's where he learned to play a particular type of shot. 

"I developed the ability to hit the ball low to counteract windy links-style conditions. This really helped me to develop as a golfer", he said. 

Will is supporting the south coast-based ME/CFS Alliance think tank and the national ME Association because an old friend, Sam Boreham, went on to develop the devastating energy-sapping disease ME after failing to recover from a virus.

Other friends he met at the same time will also play a few holes with him and then start caddying when the going gets really rough. 

Will said: "I chose an endurance event as this is something that most people with M.E. can't do. Sam has been very ill and I want to raise awareness for the debilitating nature of the disease."
