International Squash Event Coming to Stamford's Chelsea Piers

Beginning April 13th, squash legend Peter Nicol MBE and former world #26 Tim Garner embarked on the most ambitious global squash challenge ever attempted. The pair will spend over 70 hours on airplanes and travel more than 40,000 miles to play seven matches in seven days on all seven continents.  

Chelsea Piers Connecticut will play host to the last leg of the 7 Continent Squash Challenge on Saturday, April 20th, 2013. The goal of the Xodus 7 Continent Challenge is to raise awareness of squash’s bid to be included in the 2020 Olympic Games.

In addition to raising the 2020 Bid's profile, the Challenge will raise funds for two charities close to the hearts of those in the worldwide squash community.

The Natasha Drake Trust will help a young squash player rebuild her life after a debilitating illness and LV-SOS Kit Aid will help give disadvantaged people from all over the world the opportunity to play and enjoy squash. 

Nicol and Garner begin their epic journey in the Falkland Islands, and from there they travel to Santiago (Chile), Sydney (Australia), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Cairo (Egypt), London (United Kingdom) and finally crown a victor at Chelsea Piers Connecticut. 

The public is welcome to come for an all-day squash extravaganza leading up to the 7th and final match, beginning at 7:30pm. For more information on the 7 Continent Challenge and its charities, please visit 7continentchallenge.com.
