Me and Saahil are raising money for the national  cricket charity Chance to Shine which does cricket coaching with over 600,000 children a year who wouldn't otherwise have the chance to play cricket. Like all charities, the virus has made it harder to hold fundraising events so we want to try to help a little. As we love cricket we know how much it can help people keep going through good and bad times.  Chance to Shine is trying to reach as many children and their families as possible with lots of video sessions. 

We are each going to face the equivalent number of balls in an Ashes series, hitting a ball in a sock tied by rope to a tree (see the photo). We will both hit 11,000 balls over five days.

We hope you will sponsor us generously.
