Empowered to ACHIEVE
presented by Kelly LeonardTHE INSTRUCTOR
As a child, competitive sports were a major part of Kelly’s life. But since her accident, the former RAF Physical Training Instructor let her injury define her.
She lost focus on sport and her physical and mental recovery suffered. It left Kelly with complete loss of confidence and self- belief.
Yet through the Invictus Games, she is surrounded by people who do not judge but understand, talk and offer support.
The Welsh 41-year-old living in Shropshire said: They have empowered me to achieve the best I can be.
The UK Trials was a turning point in my life, I am back competing and I want more.
I have started to believe in myself and was proud to show my children, who have never seen me without disability, that with self-belief you can accomplish anything. I have dreamt of representing my country at the highest level, something I thought would never be a part of my life again.
