WELCOME to the digital home of Kelly Reed- professional athlete and motivational speaker.

After a few years out of full-time racing, a near death accident (bad), and childbirth (super duper cool!), Kelly returns to professional racing.

In 2004 Kelly crossed the finish line a few times to show she was back from the paralyzing accident of 2002. She took last season to have her first child. Now, the real comeback is here. Follow Kelly as she races her way back through the circuit and chases her hopes and dreams.

This site will keep you in touch with the latest happenings- training racing speaking and Lachlan milestones.
