Story

Off I went to Israel, where I was delighted to be representing Great Britain for tennis at the Maccabiah Games (often called the "Jewish Olympics")! 🇬🇧✨

As you know, make the tournament mean even more, I turned my performance into a fundraiser for a charity very close to my heart: Magen David Adom

How it worked: You pledged a donation for every single game I won (I thought there would be a maximum of 48 games, but there were actually more.

Having just returned, with 2 medals (no-one more surprised than me!), I can now tell you that I won a total of 50 games, but please feel free to donate whatever you like - every bit will provide life-saving medical and ambulance services.

Thank you so much for your support! ❤️ - and taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
