Andrea Jaeger

In the 1980s, Andrea Jaeger was a tennis phenomenon. She turned pro at an age when most kids don’t have their drivers permit and celebrated her sixteenth birthday with a win at the French Open. Yet despite her success on the court, she knew that tennis was merely a platform to something greater. What proved to be a career-ending shoulder injury at the age of nineteen was the catalyst for her true calling: to help children in unfortunate circumstances. With tremendous faith and fortitude, she gave up her millions in tennis earnings and founded Little Star Foundation, a non-profit organization benefiting children with cancer.
