Former Celtic striker John Hartson is hosting his annual charity golf day in West Lothian.Taking place on Friday at Harburn Golf Club, the occasion is being supported and organised by Walker Groups’ Contract Manager, Jim Murphy.Jim, from Seafield, with the support of volunteers at Seafield Sportsman Charity along with his wife Angela and daughter Amy Jane, have organised a fantastic day with golf, an auction, raffle prizes and a hole-in-one competition for a £30,000 car.And it’s all in aid of a good cause - The John Hartson Foundation - which was set up in 2013 by the former Celtic, Arsenal and Wales footballer John Hartson following his own battle against testicular cancer.The charity is committed to raising awareness of early symptoms, supporting those who are affected by the disease and their families with counselling and assisting in the provision of medical facilities.Marking the fourth year of the event, Jim has raised in total over £60,000 for the charity through a number of activities and events, including climbing Ben Nevis.With last year’s golf day raising a record breaking £15,000, Jim is hoping to top that this year.He said: “The John Hartson Foundation does a great job of raising awareness of testicular cancer as well as other types of cancer.“The money raised at the John Hartson golf day makes a huge difference to the people who rely on their support.“Working in construction, a typically male dominated industry, this is a charity particularly close to my heart.”He added: “I’m so grateful for the continued support of home builders, Walker Group and Dawn Homes, part of The Springfield Group, and Harburn Golf Club, the golfers who take part on the day.“I’m also thankful for the generous donations from
