Swing for Independence Charity Golf Day
Join us for a day where every swing truly matters.
The Swing for Independence Charity Golf Day is more than just a round of golf — it’s an opportunity to make a meaningful and lasting difference in the life of Kerry Walsh, a remarkable South African SMA warrior, motivational speaker, author, and disability advocate.
This special event brings people together to support independence, dignity, and inclusion, while enjoying a memorable day on the greens.
Why This Golf Day Matters
Kerry Walsh is the driving force behind KmotivationSA, the author of Finding My Feet, and a passionate advocate for accessibility, equality, and awareness around disability and rare diseases in South Africa.
Through her motivational talks, lived experience, and advocacy work, Kerry inspires individuals, teams, schools, and organisations to lead with kindness, courage, purpose, and empathy. Her work continues to challenge perceptions and champion change — but it comes with significant personal cost.
Living with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) means navigating a world that is often not built with accessibility in mind. Beyond the physical challenges, the financial reality of disability is overwhelming. From medical care to mobility equipment and everyday essentials, disabled individuals are often forced to pay more — for needs they never asked for.
It can feel like the world is constantly charging extra just to exist. By participating in this golf day, you are helping to ease some of that burden. You are supporting someone who is not only trying to live independently, but who continues to give back, uplift others, and work tirelessly to create a more inclusive South Africa.
Where the Funds Go
All proceeds from the Swing for Independence Charity Golf Day will go directly towards supporting Kerry’s essential medical and mobility needs, including:
- Specialised medical tests
- New tyres for her wheelchair
- An upcoming operation
- New wheelchair batteries
- A portable basin to support comfort, dignity, and independence
Your support directly impacts Kerry’s quality of life and her ability to continue her advocacy and motivational work.
