For many years, I used to travel to London and cover Wimbledon. It's one of my favorite sporting events of all time. That's where I first met Andrea Jaeger. She a gangly teenager who was beating all women on tour, yet she was lonely and unhappy.

Now, believe it or not, Andrea is a nun! She has committed her life to helping children suffering from cancer and she talks about her commitment to God and others during this interview.

Also on a personal note, she heard that my dad had undergone emergency bypass surgery, and on her own, sent him a book with a beautiful inscription that really meant a lot to him. She's a very special person.
