Harrogate tennis friends begin 24-hour challenge
Harrogate friends Liz Hickling and Jon Hipkin will begin a 24-hour tennis and padel challenge today to raise money for Yorkshire Air Ambulance and Harrogate Spa Tennis Club.
Liz and Jon will play alternating hours of tennis and padel and have asked fellow tennis club members and non-members to join them for hour-long matches.
They were due to begin their marathon at Harrogate Spa Tennis Club at Claro Park at midday and finish at the same time tomorrow.
They will have breaks for the first 10 minutes of each session.
The pair set out to raise £1,000 for their chosen causes and have already had £1,300 pledged.
Liz said:
Harrogate Spa Town Tennis Club has recently undergone renovations, opening two new padel courts as well as a new clubhouse, café and bar.
The air ambulance provides emergency response services for over five million people across Yorkshire.
Liz said:
If you are interested in supporting Jon and Liz, they have a Just Giving page.
