‘Surprise!’ she told her followers. “We are so excited/nervous to add the third and final member to our little family! Come this November.”

Kelly was just 15 when her leg was amputated after being diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called synovial sarcoma.
“I remember telling the doctors I would rather die than have my leg amputated,” she previously told the Daily Mail Australia.
But after researching non-amputation survival rates, Kelly made the difficult decision to have her leg removed.

“I remember meeting other amputees afterward, which was tremendously helpful — as was the rehabilitation,” she said.
“Talking to other people and working with my mentor has also been invaluable – it has helped me get back into the sport.”
After her right leg was amputated, Kelly won two Paralympic medals, climbed Kilimanjaro and performed on Dancing with the Stars.
