See my post in Marni's own thread. The fundraising is on hold at the moment.

BTW it is genuine, not a scam !!

Good to see Katy is now back on court and starting to hit balls again. Long road back from her surgery after Wimbledon qualies.

I had been wondering where she was. Glad to hear shes making a return.

I believe Sunderland in late January is a possibility - assuming she wants to return at all. But seeing her holding a racket is a good omen !

Katy had a bit of a setback with her surgery, but is entered for the W35 in Nottingham in week 18, so fingers crossed.

One of my favourite players. Great to see her back. Actually my 2 favourites are Jodie and Katy. I must be a bit of a curse for injuries!!

Just for the record:

Katy Dunne won her way through the Wimbly wildcard playoffs

So, she's into 2025 Wimbly qualis !!!!

Watched her instagram and you can see how much it meant to her

Yes, after most of a year out and just a few warm-up tournaments to make it through the play-offs and into qualifying was quite an achievement - and has been her target for some time now.
