Six hours on court in one day. mon.4th august

Friday 11th Jul
I am so grateful for  all the support for this charity. I thank  everybody who has sponsored me.
I have everything organised from game of tennis in morning, helping at kids camp and another game in afternoon followed by oy one hours coaching.

Although Rhys, my beloved grandson, who is having  extensive treatment for a brain tumour won't benefit directly, it is because of this, that I am happy to raise money for such a wonderful charity and I know our young member, Zack , and his family, have been helped and supported wonderfully by Young LivesvCancer

I hope to be on court for 6 hrs playing tennis and assisting at kids summer camp and possibly coaching.
