About Leylah Fernandez

Raised by immigrant parents and standing just five-foot-six, Leylah Fernandez overcame adversity to become one of the best tennis players in the world.

Her story is one of sacrifice, community support, and resilience – the same qualities that define Canadian Red Cross volunteers across Canada.

We’re honoured to have her as a Canadian Red Cross monthly giving ambassador.
