MND Charity Tennis Marathon

Thanks to all those members who donated and/or participated!

The 10 hour event was blessed with all day sunshine and delicious home-baked goodies. Thanks to those skillful ladies - you know who you are! - and to everyone else who brought down fruit & nibbles.

The funding page is still open for donations, but £1,370 has been raised so far. The Leeds Hospitals Charity have already raised over £200,000 towards their £5m target and are pleased with the momentum of the campaign. 

Special shout out to Harriet, whose employer is doubling £500 taking our figure so far to £1,870...! 

Big thanks to Sheila (who played 2 hours of the tennis marathon, the first hour starting at 8am!) and to Mark Molnar who played for 3 hours and didn't drop a set!

Energetic members, Howell (another early bird 8am participant!), Mike Tinker, Fiona Kenny and Tracey Hulme also played the Winter League match that took place on courts 2 & 3...that's dedication for you!

There was a lot of great doubles tennis played: mixed, ladies and mens, as well as a senior/junior (boys vs girls!) Pearce family battle!

Thanks again to all those who have contributed to the success of this event! 

Best wishes, Sam and Andy Barke.
