Profile: Former Tennis Star Runs Children’s Cancer Charity
May 28, 2009 | Read Time: 1 minute
The Washington Post profiles Andrea Jaeger, who reached the heights of professional women’s tennis as a teenage prodigy in the 1980s and who now focuses on fund raising for her children’s cancer charity.
Ms. Jaeger, who took orders as a Dominican nun in 2006, co-founded the Little Star Foundation for young cancer patients in 1990, three years after injuries ended her meteoric tennis career. Among other services, the organization brings thousands of children annually to a Colorado ranch for a week of horseback riding, rafting, and other activities.
