Guiness World Record - Longest Squash Marathon

My dad and I set the Guiness World Record for the Worlds Longest Squash Marathon with a total of 25 hours and 55 minutes from the 19th to 20th of April 2008 at the Howick Squash club in Auckland, New Zealand. We did it to raise as much money as possible for the Child Cancer Foundation as they had looked after one of our family friends who sadly passed away a few days before the event. We did it in memory of him and ended up with a total of $26,000 dollars which we happily donated to the Child Cancer Foundation.

If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Amazing. Well done you guys, worth watching the whole video. Good to know there are decent people in this world who do events like this. As an avid squash player I don't envy the length of time on court to be fair :)
