Draper commits to the fight against Alzheimer's disease

Jack Draper, who enjoyed a benchmark season on the ATP Tour in 2024, reached the top 15 of the rankings for the first time in his career at the age of 22 in October.

He won his first two titles and reached his first Grand Slam semi-final at the US Open.

In recent days, the Briton has distinguished himself by committing himself more than ever to the fight against Alzheimer's disease.

The player's grandmother has been suffering from the disease since 2015, and Draper himself confirmed last year that she no longer recognized him.

Yet she had been one of his most loyal supporters since the start of his career.

On its X account, Alzheimer's Society shared Jack Draper's actions as he took advantage of his free time at the end of the season to try and help those affected by the disease.

"A big thank you to tennis star and Alzheimer's Society sports champion Jack Draper, who organized his own Memory Walk yesterday.

Jack was joined by friends and family to walk along the River Thames in honor of his grandmother, who suffered from Alzheimer's disease.

Jack raised over £4,000 to help people with dementia and raise awareness of the disease, which affects around one million people in the UK.

A big thank you to Jack and all those who have joined him in shining a light on dementia," says the Alzheimer's Society on its social networks.
