“Don’t let her continue playing tennis.”
Those were the words once given to the parents of our patron, Fran Jones, as a young child living with ectodermal dysplasia.
Today, Fran is competing on the world stage.
In her recent interview with The Times, Fran speaks candidly about the reality behind elite sport — overcoming challenges linked to ED, intense training in Barcelona, injury setbacks, recovery after a serious gym accident, and the heartbreak of seeing her ranking drop. But through it all, her passion for tennis never disappeared.
An inspiring and deeply honest story of resilience, determination and belief.
