A Team of Leicestershire Vets are to play in a 24 Hour Tennisathon for Comic Relief.
They are going to play through the night and day of 18th & 19th March at the David Lloyd Centre in Narborough, Leicester - who are running a free open day & family tennis extravaganza throughout so that everybody can come down to support and get involved (Bring your racket and you can challenge the vets on the day - whilst they are on their knees!!)
There is also going to be a huge Comic Relief Party & Charity Auction so please pledge your new unwanted items or if your a business offer your services. Come and support the vets when they crawl over the finish line on Saturday evening at 9pm - absolutely everybody is welcome to come down to David Lloyd's and join in the fun!!
This is really going to hurt so to make it all worthwhile and to raise plenty of money it would be fantastic if you could participate and donate.
It's easy to see more news, pictures, video's and to donate online with a credit or debit card - just go to the JustGiving page.
JustGiving sends your donation straight to Red Nose Day and automatically reclaims Gift Aid on all eligible donations, so what you give is worth even more. I hope you'll join us in supporting Red Nose Day.
You can also follow "Stroudster" on Twitter to get a blow by blow account of the build up and event - and whose been nailed!!
Please let everybody you know, post details on your Facebook page, Tweet about it to your followers and tell all your Friends and Family!!
All Company's can support by just bringing some "Big" POS material to be displayed on Centre court throughout and making a generous donation.
Auction items so far include tennis coaching, Sunday lunch, an Indian meal for two, champagne, wine and spirits, PT sessions, signed sports memorabilia, and a cookery lesson. All items welcome.
