A world record has raised money for a local charity.
Alex Preston and Michael Pearce from Intrepid broke the Guinness World Record for the longest singles squash match last September, playing for a marathon 40 hours 01mins 59 secs at Tring Squash Club.
The pair were backed by friends, family, colleagues and anonymous donors from around the world who sponsored the mammoth effort to raise over £11,000 for Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity. The Hospice had cared for Alex’s mother who gave him his love of squash, and was instrumental in the building of Thame Squash Club.
The money raised has funded the purchase of two mobile bladder scanners which will be used in the Hospice and by their community team who care for patients in their homes across Buckinghamshire and its borders.
