Club president Craig Farrar hopes to raise $5000 between September 27 and November 27, with a 27-hour non-stop tennis event scheduled for October 16 to 17.

It's the first time the club has taken part in the fundraiser, with all money raised going to FightMND.

"We will be conducting a number of Covid-safe events, but we challenge our members to join the team," he said.

Over 27 days, those participating will take on daily challenges.

With the average life expectancy for someone diagnosed with MND about 27 months, it's hoped the challenge will raise awareness and funds for the cruel disease.

Anyone wishing to participate can contact Farrar, while the club is also seeking a sponsor for the fundraising event.
