Supporting Backpacks 4 SA Kids
Join Anna Meares OAM and Kyle Chalmers OAM as they share their extraordinary stories of strength, grit, and leadership.
Anna overcame a life-threatening injury to becoming the most decorated female track cyclist in history. Her journey is a masterclass in determination and courage.
Kyle burst onto the world stage at just 18, winning gold in the 100m freestyle at the 2016 Rio Olympics. He is one of only three men ever to medal in the 100m freestyle in three consecutive Olympic Games.
Both Anna and Kyle are admired for their authenticity, resilience, and strength in overcoming adversity - qualities that make their stories just as powerful beyond the sporting arena as they are within it.
