Held in support of diabetes research through the Canadian Diabetes Association, a full card of 140 golfers participated in the event. “Over the years, we have raised $880,000 for diabetes research — all of which stays here in London,” said Doug Glass, one of the organizers of this year’s tournament. He indicated that they project to raise another $120,000 this year, bringing the total over raised for diabetes research over the 23 years of the tournament to in excess of $1 million. “A lot of people have committed to it (Flame of Hope) over the years,” remarked Glass. “ Some people have actually even played the tournament for all 23 years. It is just a great commitment to diabetes research.” Find us on Facebook: London Community News
