Kim Crow Supports Sport for Women Day
"I believe sport is a wonderful way to build communities, friendships and well-being. Any opportunity to give exposure to the variety of sports available, and the endless possibilities for women in sport, is one to be jumped upon. If even one girl or woman takes up sport because of today, it will be a success."
