Join us for an inspiring lunch with The Sporting Club and Dame Kelly Holmes, a remarkable figure in the world of athletics.
Dame Holmes is best known as a double Olympic Gold Medalist, having triumphed in the 800 meters and 1500 meters events at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games. Her feat made her the first British woman to secure two gold medals in track and field at the same Olympics. Her career is decorated with numerous other accolades, including Commonwealth Games and European Championships medals. Her strength, determination, and achievements have made her a role model for athletes worldwide.
Dame Holmes has not only excelled on the track but also off it, using her platform to advocate for mental health, a cause close to her heart. She established the Dame Kelly Holmes Trust, a charity that empowers disadvantaged young people through mentorship from world-class athletes. She has also received recognition for her service to athletics and the community, including being named BBC Sports Personality of the Year in 2004 and her damehood awarded by Queen Elizabeth II in 2005.
