Kerryn Harvey
In 2013 Kerryn became an upper limb amputee after contracting a life threatening bacteria called necrotizing fasciitis following a bicycle accident. It was devastating news for a sports fanatic like Kerryn. Prior to her amputation Kerryn had been participating in many triathlons from Sprint distance to Ironman, Fun Runs from 5k to Marathon, and Cycle events from 20km to 2000km!
Following Kerryn’s amputation she was determined to regain her fitness and health so Kerryn set about re-learning to ride, run and swim. Although there have been many challenges along the way, Kerryn is now back competing as a Para-Triathlete. In 2015 she represented Australia at the World Para-Triathlon Championships in Chicago, winning a silver medal in her class, giving her number 2 ranking in the world. An incredible achievement only 2 ½ years after becoming an amputee and almost losing her life!
Being fit and healthy and once again participating in sport has empowered Kerryn with the confidence to believe she can still achieve anything she wants to in sport and life.

Angus Murrie

Angus Murrie is quite simply a determined hardworking young man. At 16 he is still yet to decide which area of sports he wants to seriously pursue, but having his first running blade fitted by ProMotion Prosthetics less than 12 months ago means the opportunities and choices are wide open.
Becoming an amputee following a severe bacterial infection when in Primary School, Angus has set challenges to steadily improve his mobility skills competing in both the School Sports Victoria (SSV) Cross Country and Athletics programs over the past 5 years.
Angus first became a National Champion in 2022 as part of Team Victoria competing at the School Sports Australia Triathlon/Aquathlon Championships and retained his title in March 2023. Angus has adapted to middle distance track events where he collected a third National title racing in the 800m Para event as part of the 2022 All School’s National Athletics Championships held in Adelaide.
Angus is an active member of the Melb based Inclusive Sports Training (Triathlon Club) & Glenhuntly Athletic Club.
