### Mega Raffle, drawn 29/07/17 ###

Kenley please pass this on to Kelsey

I just had a thought about our girl Kelsey and thought I would publish them in case I am right so if its crossed your mind please forget it

Kelsey I am sure I speak for all that have supported us in the past couple of months, I hope you don't feel you owe body, anything by having to win. We all know as a sports woman you will do your best and what ever your achievements are I know all of us will be proud of you. You are representing Australia not a few Land rover driver/ owner.

know all on the forum will be waiting for you updates as to your progress once you hit Canada.

Thanks Cliff
For all her physical ability she is still a very young woman. I'll be honest in that at times the stress of training combined with still wanting to do well in her final year of school (her last report card was all B's and an A+) has been very tough on her mentally. The thought that she had to win because that's what she thinks everyone is expecting of her has had her in tears occasionally.
The competition will be very tough. This is her first international event, she has nerves before every event, these two events are on a bigger scale. I'm sure she will be jittery beforehand.
But she's done the training and in my mind already a winner. As has been said here already, nows the fun part, go over there and make the most of it.

Expectations... Kenley, please tell her that we will love her for having a go.. This was never intended to put pressure on her, it was to get YOU there to take the pressure OFF.

Absolutely agree. She's already a winner by her commitment. I'm sure everyone is just happy to have done what they could to give her the chance to have a go, which is all anyone could expect. Anything beyond that is a bonus.
