From Ra’anana around the world and back: Edan Leshem takes a swing for Sharsheret - interview
“I feel it’s a great cause and that I really want to help,” Leshem said. “I’m just there to support the players and give them the best experience of the tournament.
Edan Leshem, a former top-ranked Israeli professional tennis player, will help organize Friday’s Sharsheret Israel Tennis Tournament in Ra’anana. The tournament aims to support women affected by breast and ovarian cancer while promoting social connection and raising awareness and funds for Sharsheret’s work. Leshem, now 29, will return to the Ra’anana Tennis Center where his tennis journey began at the age of five.
He will work with his longtime coach and colleague Ron Becker to ensure the players have the best experience possible. The event will not only raise funds but also bring together women with shared experiences in a supportive environment. Leshem's involvement in the tournament marks a significant moment, as it represents a full-circle return to the sport that has been central to his life.
