Liezel's Cause

Hurricane Katrina survivors have been getting some help from South African tennis player and Wimbledon doubles champion, Liezel Huber (29). Liezel has been living in Houston, Txas, since 1997 and is married to an American, Tony. The couple used their local church as a shelter for survivors and soon Liezel started a charity organisation, Liezel's Cause. Martina Navratilova has donated towards this fund-raising effort. Liezel, born in Durban, initially helped a family of 8, but after calling on friends for help, they soon had enough to look after 10 families. Liezel injured her knee after her Wimbledon win with Cara Black, and had to have surgery. She will only return to tennis in March 2006.
