Auction Item #02 Signed 2012 London Paralympics Singlet

Kelly Cartwright OAM Signed 2012 London Paralympics Singlet by Kelly Cartwright OAM (Mackay Sony Camp Patron) + $100 framing voucher at TJ Picture Framers Biography The story of Kelly’s life is best described as triumph over adversity. At the tender age of 15, after being diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer in her right knee, she was forced to make a decision that would change the direction of her life. In November 2004, faced with the option of amputation or radical surgery to remove the cancer (doctors told her she would most likely still have cancer after surgery), Kelly chose amputation for her best chance of survival.

After a painstaking 3 months of rehabilitation she was fitted with a prosthetic leg. Having learnt to walk again, and facing the reality that her netball career was over, she looked for a new direction.

That direction was running.

With a growing passion for running, Kelly’s training intensified in pursuit of her latest goal – to be the best above-­‐knee amputee 100m sprinter in the world. Adding to her fast-­‐growing list of achievements Kelly became the first above-­‐knee amputee woman to climb to the summit of Mt Kilimanjaro in 2009.

2012 was by far Kelly’s biggest year. Drawing on all her training, she rose to the top in Long Jump, setting a new world record; claimed the gold medal; and ran a personal best in the 100m to claim silver in London.

Bell Shakespeare's HAMLET Family Pass

Family Pass to see Bell Shakespeare's HAMLET Date: 7 September Time: 7.30pm Venue: MECC Dark acts result in darker consequences. And there is little that’s darker and more complicated than the act of revenge.

A family torn apart by murder, a son burdened with the truth and the task of avenging his father, and a country on the brink of war.

Anguish, passion and desperation collide in this tragic telling of Hamlet, the Prince of Denmark who is tormented by the impossibility of his dilemma, and who remains one of theatre’s most fascinating characters.

Damien Ryan, returning to Bell Shakespeare following the critically acclaimed Henry V in 2014, will deliver a new production of Hamlet, infused with the passion, contemplation and emotion that Shakespeare’s compelling poetry cries out for. Josh McConville (Griffin Theatre Company’s The Boys and Sydney Theatre Company’s Mojo) and Matilda Ridgway (Sport For Jove’s A Doll’s House) will delve into the depths of the complexity, violence, philosophical reflection, madness and maddening seduction of Hamlet.
