Kim Honoured as Kiama Sporting Great!!!!!!!

Kim is Great but we all knew that!


Recently Kim's mum and dad nominated her for selection onto the Inaugural Kiama Sporting Hall of Fame.

Last Night we attended the event and among very distinguished guest Kim was named one of six inaugural members. It was an absolutely whos who of sport in Kiama and the South Coast with some great International athletes too.


Nominees included- Mick Cronin (Rugby League Kangaroo), Rod Wishart Rugby League Kangaroo), Norma Stead (Tennis), Ben Kerstin (Olympian Cycling), Zoe Uphill (Olympian Rowing), Athol Noble (Rugby League), Paul Quinn (Rugby League Kangaroo), Garry Grey (Rugby Wallaby), Brian Weir (Rugby Wallaby)

Also attending were Kims former sparring partners who put on a dispaly of top class sparring. The crowd was very enthusiatic towards our athletes which demonstrated that Kim had Cancer, had chemo, had major major surgery and then returned to compete without a whimper of complaint. Kim felt most at home either on the competition court or in the surf.

This is a once in a lifetime person for me to have spent so much time with and hence misses immensely.
