Hewitt snubs charity event
February 07, 2006 LLEYTON Hewitt has snubbed a fundraiser for intellectually disabled athletes that was organised in his honour.
The tennis champ, who is an ambassador for the Special Olympics, failed to turn up for the charity harbour cruise last Friday, The Daily Telegraph reports. He was supposed to host the event to raise funds for people with intellectual disabilities to get to the Special Olympics World Games in China next year.
But the athlete pulled out 24 hours before the event citing a sore foot, the paper said.
