From 10:00 am Thursday 26th August to 7:00 pm Monday 30th August 2010, I, along with 23 others will be attempting to set a new Guinness World record for the longest game of Cricket.  We are aiming for 105 hours.The reasons for doing this are two-fold:

1)  We are raising money and awareness for a number of charities, principally Breast Cancer Research, Orchid (Testicular, Penile and Prostate Cancer research) our own Playing Field Association and St. Johns Hospice, Moggerhanger. 
 
2)  We lost our own world record of 59hours and 33 minutes set in 2008 (our certificate is in-between the toilets at our ground!) to a side from Australia, so the ashes battle starts now to bring the record back to these shores.  I played last time, it was cold/hot/hard/fun/foggy but ultimately bring-you-to-tears rewarding.
 
The charities themselves mean a lot to me, so I have donated £105 of my own money (see what I did there) to get the ball rolling.  This £105 represents not only £1 for every hour I intend to play for, but also the rough saving I have made from quitting smoking some 50 days ago.  I didn't want to be raising money for cancer charities and continue to smoke so I will also no doubt be a nightmare to play with/against during this time. 
 
Please feel free to donate to these worthy causes, it doesn't matter how small the amount, I will be extremely grateful.
 
Thanks for taking the time out to read this. Hope to see you there.
