Support the Journey: The Sheffield & District Squash Trek fundraiser 

One Walk. Many Clubs. Countless Futures.

From Friday, June 19 to Sunday, June 21, 2026, I am embarking on a 3-day mission to support the future of our sport. This trek is about more than just miles; it is a campaign to raise awareness for the Sheffield & District (S&D) Squash Leagues and the incredible junior squash programs hosted at every club along my route.

The Mission & Goal

I am raising funds specifically to purchase a squash ball cannon and a racket stringing machine for the juniors I coach at Retford Squash Club.

We aren't just buying equipment; we are investing in skills. Our juniors will be trained to use the stringing machine themselves, providing them with a valuable life skill and a deeper understanding of their gear.

• Reinvesting in the Future: All profits generated from the stringing service will go directly back into the Retford junior programs.

• Empowering our Youth: The junior responsible for the stringing will also earn some pocket money for their hard work, teaching them the value of responsibility and business.

The Challenge: 65 Miles, 9 Matches

This isn't just a walk; it’s a grueling test of endurance.

• Total Distance: Approximately 62–65 miles.

• Daily Average: Walking roughly 21 miles per day.

• The Matches: I will be stopping at 9 different clubs to play a match at each location.

• The Grit: I'll be sleeping in my campervan on the first and second nights to stay on schedule.

### Elite Competition

To highlight the high level of squash in our district, I’ll be stepping on court with some legendary talent, including: 

• Nick Matthew OBE: Former World #1, 3-time World Champion, and a Sheffield squash icon. 

• David Turner: Currently ranked Australia #6, bringing world-class international play to the trek.
