24hr Real Tennis Marathon

On 8th December, the Newcastle Real Tennis Club are hosting a 24hr Real Tennis Marathon in aid of the #JACKTHELAD foundation, and the Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter.

Last Summer, we unfortunately lost a dear friend and fellow student, Jack Chisholm. Jack drowned suddenly, whilst working away in Florida. #JACKTHELAD foundation helped Jack's family with guidance and advice in their darkest hours in navigating the death of a loved one overseas.

'#JackTheLad has been set up to campaign for safer adventures for young people abroad and draw attention to risks. When things do go wrong, they are there to help families with practical and financial arrangements and with the difficult journeys they face thereafter. When the worst happens, those who think they were covered by insurance often are not. In some cases, bereaved families might not have the means to be able to bring their loved one’s home quite so easily, adding further to their stress and devastation.'

We are also raising money for the Jesmond Dene Real Tennis Club's chosen charity, the Newcastle Dog and Cat Shelter. Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter was established in 1896 and helps thousands of lost, unwanted, neglected, abused, and abandoned animals every year. Their objective is the promotion of kindness and prevention of cruelty to animals. The charity reunites lost animals with their owners and find loving new homes for those no longer wanted. Their catchment spans the entirety of the Northeast from their shelter at Benton North Farm in Newcastle.

Any donations will be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, we are not able to have 1 fundraising page for both charities. We have created a separate fundraising page for the Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter.
