Twickenham GMTV Star To Take On Tennis Charity Challenge 2009: 129pm Wednesday

Twickenham GMTV star to take on tennis charity challenge

1:29pm Wednesday 18th February 2009 Twickenham tennis star and GMTV presenter Andrew Castle will try and break the record for the longest ever match
to help raise money and awareness for charity. The current world record stands at a grueling 26 hours, 26 minutes and 26 seconds of competitive play and Mr Castle and former British junior number one David Shaw hope to top it. Andrew, as patron of CHASE hospice care for children, has joined forces with BBC Children in Need and Plan UK to raise important funding for these charities in September. The venue for this incredible attempt will be a specially constructed tennis court on Trafalgar Square and will be supported by various celebrity guests from the world of sports and entertainment.
