What is my WHY? ... 

Sadly, on the 12/09 (2020), My wonderful dad passed away. He was the kindest, most hardworking man we knew and he left us too soon. His passion was tennis and he had been a tennis coach for over 40 years, working for the LTA, Alderley edge tennis club, David Lloyd Cheadle etc. He was respected by many and he was able to share his love and knowledge of tennis with hundreds of adults and children over his career. I want to do something in his memory to challenge me personally and to give others the opportunity to help support others / have a game of tennis in his memory. 

What will I be doing?....

On the 25th of October 2020 I am holding / participating in 12 hours of tennis at Alderley Edge Tennis Club in memory of my dad. It is an opportunity for anyone who knew him, who knew of him, or didn’t know him but want to pay their respects to be able to book a 45 minute slot to play against me (in singles or doubles) with a donation towards the given charity. Due to events going on, many people were unable to attend the funeral and this is my way of letting people have a send off for him, or to be able to contribute towards helping fund mental health Support for others in memory of him. If you are interested in booking a slot to play for fun please contact me personally on Instagram or Facebook - Nikki Cowell 

Thoughts....

Depression takes over the lives of too many people. The reason I have chosen the charity mind is in the hopes that extra funding towards mental health/ suicide awareness will help support others whom are struggling and hopefully prevent further cases of passing through mental health troubles. Mental health needs to be taken seriously. It’s so important that we look out for each other. 

Thank you for supporting. It means the world.
