Kimberly Doyle has made an immense impact on Special Olympics Mackay Fire and Special Olympics Queensland. She joined as chair in 2014 and transitioned to mentor and Special Olympics Queensland chair in 2023. Kimberly has expanded powerlifting to three states, introduced table tennis and bocce to Mackay Fire, and established relationships with local businesses for sponsorships and fundraising, securing over $10,000 since the start of the Containers for Change program.
Kimberly’s advocacy has been key in preventing a proposed accreditation fee for athletes, which would have significantly impacted local fundraising. Her dedication to inclusion is evident through her work with Kung Fu Wushu Qld, offering virtual Kung Fu Form and Tai Chi sessions.
Kimberly’s leadership extends beyond local efforts—she organised a performance at the World Down Syndrome Congress in Brisbane and facilitated sports events to promote inclusion and awareness. Her positive attitude and tireless commitment make her a true community leader.
Kimberley has been recognised as a State Volunteer of the Year recipient and is a nominee for the inaugural Australian Volunteer of the Year Award.
Their contribution reflects the impact of volunteering in their community and across Australia.
