    In August 2018 the world lost an amazing young girl when Sadie (my Niece) tragically died as a result of a severe allergic reaction. Sadie was a very talented tennis player, ranked the UK’s no 1 for her age and had an extremely bright future ahead of her. The Foundation has been set up in her memory with a dual aim. To increase tennis and athletic participation in schools as well as campaigning alongside Allergy UK to educate the wider community and support further research into allergies.
