PAGE CREATOR:	Brett & James Meyer
EVENT:	Longest Singles Squash Marathon Child Cancer
EVENT DATE:	19/04/2008

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page. We have been inspired to do this for a brave young friend. His family have nominated the Child Cancer Foundation because of the wonderful on-going support they have given them throughout their battle with this disease. We will attempt to set a Guiness World Record by playing squash continually for a minimum of 24 hours. This will start at 9am on the 19th April at the Howick Squash Club, Meadowlands Drive, Howick, Auckland.

We'll do all the hard work and will train hard to meet our attempt. This is huge for us and we really need your help to make a difference and to support an amazing charity who gives families much needed help when dealing with child cancer.

Monday 21 April. We are extremely happy to say we did it!! With Michael in our thoughts and in our hearts each hour passed and we could feel him cheering us on. He had the heart of a lion and we feel truly blessed as a family to have been apart of his life. We want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who came to support us through the day, night and after. Having so much support was fantastic and we'll never forget this experience. RIP Mikey xxx
