Aim
Our squash team players are completing a 24-hr squashthon in aid of the British Heart Foundation and our squash club.
Who are we?
We are a group of squash players who play at our local club and in our local squash team league and keen to challenge ourselves in keeping the ball going on a squash court for 24 hours!

Why are we crowdfunding?
Squash is a brilliant way to stay fit and healthy however one of club members had a serious heart related health scare and we want to raise funds for the British Heart Foundation (BHF) alongside funds for our squash club since this also holds a special place in this members heart.
So 15 years since our club members completed our previous squashathon were doing it again and taking on 24 hours of squash as a team.
Starting 25th September 8PM!
