Lets get Garnett to Spain Campaign

My uncle Garnett has been selected to represent Tennis South Africa at the Masters World Team Championships in Mallorca in October 2023! He is 82 years old! He has been playing tennis for over 60 years and this is such an honour for him.  

He is well known in his hometown, Oudtshoorn, as the previous Editor of the community newspaper but most people know him as Meester Garnett, the great tennis player. My uncle wakes up every morning at the crack of dawn to practice at his local tennis club. He is extremely passionate about the sport. He is very fit and active, and has also already completed over 100 parkruns.  

He has previously been invited to participate as part of the SA Super Seniors Team in the World Championships in Florida and Croatia. Unfortunately he only received a tracksuit as there are no sponsorships made available and we heavily relied on family and friends to help make this dream come true. He does play such an instrumental part in so many peoples lives as uncle, father figure and friend. 

His wife Maureen, who has always been a great pillar of strength, supporter and enthusiast of his game, suffered a stroke in 2015. The medical bills and rehabilitation costs has been financially taxing on the family.  

This is a great deal, and unfortunately he is not getting the exposure that he, or the game, deserves. He is so thrilled to have been selected to represent his country, and we know he will do really well. 

Uncle Garnett needs funds to cover his air ticket, accommodation, visa and meals. Please help us get him to Spain!
