A 100 Holes of Golf for Danny Nickerson
6-year-old Ryan McGuire will try to golf as much as he can in memory of his friend.
A 5-year-old from Foxborough is hoping to become the youngest golfer to play 100 holes in memory of Danny Nickerson.
On June 17, Ryan McGuire will go to MGA Links in Norton and play as many holes of golf as he can as part of a fundraiser for a cancer known as DIPG.
All the money raised will go towards Dr. Mark Kieran’s research at the Dana–Farber Cancer Institute according to his fundraising page on Golf Fights Cancer.

McGuire will be joined on the links by his cancer-surviving grandfather Vin “Bear” McGuire.

Last year, Nickerson made headlines when a request for birthday cards went viral and resulted in over 100,000 gifts and cards for the young boy. Nickerson lost his battle with cancer in April.
