3 years ago, the world and the tennis world lost an amazing, kind hearted and generous soul In Elena Baltacha (Bally) too early! Before passing away she and her husband Nino set up a brilliant charity, Elena Baltacha Foundation which allows children from all backgrounds to have the chance to play tennis! After her sad passing, Nino and the team continue their amazing work at the charity and keep her legacy and memory alive!

To mark this day, I thought it would be great to donate to a cause which was so close to her heart and help support her dream and keep her legacy going! Please donate as little or as much as you would like to this cause  (www.elenabaltachafoundation.org)

You can also text in a donation by texting the code EBNS99 followed by the amount to 70070. e.g EBNS99 £2. You can add a message by clicking on the link send via text

To thank everyone for their support and to mark the day a couple of people will be chosen at random to receive a card with a picture of Bally. Please ensure you tick the box allowing email address to be shared

Bally: You will never be forgotten! Forever in our thoughts, hearts and prayers

Thanks everyone!
