Story
Cathie Sabin dedicated her life to helping others and on the 21st May 2020 she finally lost her 12 year battle with Myeloma.
We have chosen a few charities that we would like to support, either as a thank you for the wonderful support they provided Mum during her 12 years fighting Cancer, or because the activity was particularly close to her heart and the work she carried out promoting and encouraging grass roots tennis.
We will be supporting;
We've been very touched by all the comments made about Mum over the past few days. I hope you'll help support our cause.
Cathie was a genuine grass roots tennis lover and the tennis family will miss her.
