Hobart TAS, Australia, 6 April 2016 | Tennis Tasmania

Angie was a hugely talented tennis player as a young girl. At 14, she moved from Tasmania to the AIS to start her tennis career. By 18 she’d picked up a World Junior Doubles ranking of 3, soon after she became a two times finalist of the Australian Open Junior Doubles, a Finalist of Wimbledon Junior Doubles and represented Australia on numerous occasions.

Angie is now in a wheelchair and can’t move anything but her eyes due to Motor Neurone Disease (MND).

Read Angie’s story in an interview with Hamish McLachlan, her long-time friend.
