Thank you to our guest players and sponsors for making the 1st Annual Courage for Life Golf Outing at Chartiers CC a HUGE success!

Welcome!

This website is dedicated to the John Challis Courage for Life Foundation.  At the age of 16, John was diagnosed with Hepatocellular Carcinoma, an adult form of liver cancer.  He was diagnosed at Stage 4 of this cancer and has undergone aggressive chemotherapy treatments in an attempt to save his life.

John's outlook on life has been one of a true inspiration.  He feels that God has given him this disease because he is strong enough to handle it and can help others by spreading his message.  His message is "It is not how many breaths you take, it is what you do with each breath you take."

Your thoughts and prayers are what mean the most, so please feel free to send a comment of support on this site, and remember him and his family in your prayers. John is a determined, positive, happy inspiration in our lives who - with your help and prayers - will continue to grow in our hearts.
