Kelly, has received an Order of Australia Medal (OAM) in the Australia Day Honours List.
The Governor General presents these honours to Australians who have set them apart and enriched our community across a broad range of professional, public and community service sectors.
In their daily lives these admirable people demonstrate those values that we as a nation hold dear - compassion, civility, dedication, courage, kindness, tolerance, and energetic ambition. They inspire us to be more enthusiastic and giving, to uphold the responsibility of being fully engaged citizens.
I am so proud and humbled to receive an OAM today. A very close Aunt said to me, "Trust in where your life takes you." When I look back on the road I've taken so far and think about where I am now, with our new Sport Access Foundation launching yesterday, my passion continues to be an advocate for inclusiveness and diversity.
