On Friday the 13th July I'm going to be taking part in a 24 hour squashathon with a view to raising around £10,000 for Woking Hospice.

This will involve me playing squash for as long as physically possible – which in my case will be from about 7pm to midnight. I won’t be able to do the full 24 hours as I’ve prior engagements for the Saturday, but every little counts and I will aim to do an extra 20mins of squash after midnight for every £100 I raise from now on.

Woking Hospice was set up in 1996 and since then has benefitted more than 30,000 local people. All care and support provided by the Hospice is given to patients and extended to their families free of charge.

Around 3,000 people are cared for by the Hospice every year and it costs around £3million each year to do this, relying on gifts and donations from the local community.

Remember: Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never share them with anyone or send you unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. They'll make sure Gift Aid (an additional 28%) is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer, too. That means more money goes to the charity, faster, with JustGiving.

So please dig deep and donate now.
