Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
My name is Sarah Wright, I have enjoyed over 30 years of playing tennis and representing my country, county and club. In my day job I work for a recruitment company and am lucky enough to help Rainbows with their recruitment of staff. About 12 months ago I visited Rainbows myself and was overwhelmed to see the work that they do 24 hours a day. I was inspired to do something to help.


And so the idea came of a 24 hour tennis marathon, I am going to be playing non stop for 24 hours 12 noon 18th May through to 12 Noon 19th May at West Bridgford Tennis Club with the aim to raise as much money as possible to help support this amazing charity. We will be hosting a number of extra events throughout the day so please do dig deep, come along and support and think how lucky we all are to be playing tennis and doing something we love.

As the East Midlands’ only hospice for children and young people, Rainbows is a place where life-limited children and their families can find care and support. The incredible team of people help relieve symptoms, improve quality of life, support parents and siblings through their bereavements and care for children until the end.
Please help us support such a wonderful and worthwhile charity... every single penny really does help.

Thanks a million.
