June is coming to a close, Summer is in full swing, and Fore the Destination is just coming to life. 

This month has been busy. June is the beginning of summer and brings a lot to the calendar. A great vacation to Colorado with my wife, too much time at Fenway, and an annual fundraising event. 

The Mike Patterson and Nicole Heck Foundation has spent the better part of a decade supporting Dana Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund. 

The main event for the MPNHF is the annual Mike Patterson Invitational in Memory of Nicole Heck. Annually, the Friday of Father’s Day weekend is reserved for a gathering of people with one goal: kicking cancer’s ass. 

One hundred thirty-two golfers somehow navigate an early morning shotgun start on the narrowest of golf courses, taking up residence in a quiet neighborhood, north of Boston. 

While the golf is fun and borderline competitive, the understanding is that everyone is there to gather, open their wallets and support the fundraising efforts. For a lot of people, it’s really hard to find value in giving their hard-earned money away. On this day, people are ready to make a difference. Cancer affects everyone. Everyone hates cancer. 

Proud of this team for their S40,000 donation and bringing their total fundraising to over $350,000. I’m happy to support what they do and help in any way I can.
