KELLY HYLES

A tale of how to journey well....

She cherished her opportunities.
She knew she was only human and would make mistakes.
She realised the key was how you handle those mistakes.
And how you overcome obstacles.
She worked hard.
She was well supported by others who gave their all for her all.
