A 24 Hour Padel-a-thon - The first in the UK

A a unique and ambitious fundraising event taking place at Play Padel Sheffield this September ! From 6pm on Friday 19th September to 6pm on Saturday 20th September, four friends – Dan McKie, Rob Mitchell, James Travis, and Andrew Lofthouse - will take on a 24-hour padel marathon (Padelthon) at Play Padel Sheffield, raising vital funds for Weston Park Cancer Charity.

This is, we believe a FIRST of it's kind and a celebration of Sheffield with major Sheffield business sponsors such as Redbrik, B and B Ltd, Concept Wealth and The Northern Wine Guy.

They will also be sponsored by Arden Winch for the apparel used and Paesani will be a pizza sponsor too!

Each of them be on court for a minimum of 12 hours, and throughout the day and night, members of the community, supporters, and sponsors will be donating and paying to jump on court alongside them – helping to power them through and raise as much money as possible.

You're more than welcome to attend during the event, and also for a relaxed friends and family celebration with drinks and pizza on Saturday evening from 6pm onwards.
