Kerryn Harvey is a Personal Trainer, Founding Director of START Foundation, Elite Para-Triathlete, and a Presenter. She is also an upper limb amputee. Kerryn’s life changed forever in January 2013 after contracting a life threatening bacteria called necrotizing fasciitis. In a matter of hours Kerryn, who was extremely fit and healthy, was fighting for her life in a catastrophic medical emergency. The rare and aggressive bacteria resulted in her body going into multiple organ failure. Amputation of her entire arm and shoulder was the only option in order to save her life. Her situation was so grave she was given less than 5% chance or survival. Kerryn fought back from the brink. She endured 1 week on life support, 3 weeks in intensive care, 11 operations, and spent 3 months in hospital. After a long rehabilitation, she regained her health and fitness and has rebuilt a meaningful life. Kerryn's list of accomplishments include: 2014 - Gaining her Certificate III/IV in Fitness; 2014 – Establishing START Foundation; 2015 – Cycling from Perth to Melbourne for her charity; 2015 – Representing Australia as an Elite Para-Triathlete – 2nd in World Championships; 2015 – Finalist in the 2015 Pride Of Australia - Courage Award; 2016 – Representing Australia as an Elite Para-Triathlete – 3rd in World Championships. “Being fit and healthy and once again participating in sport has empowered me with the confidence to believe I can still achieve anything I want to in sport and life”.
