Brechtje Bruls completes 33-hour tennis marathon for charity

Brechtje Bruls, a 45-year-old tennis instructor from Hilvarenbeek, completed a marathon tennis session lasting 33 hours, 33 minutes, and 33 seconds to raise funds for Stichting Quiet. The charity works to alleviate poverty by providing small moments of happiness for people with limited financial means.

During the event held at the Hiltenhal, Bruls played against 134 different opponents in 15-minute intervals. Despite experiencing physical challenges, including severe back cramps, she completed the challenge, raising over 6,000 euros. Due to a history of cardiac arrest, she was monitored by a physician throughout the endurance feat. This marks her second major marathon event, following a 24-hour tennis session she performed three years ago.
