When opportunity came knocking for Ahmed Kelly, he rolled out the red carpet, put it in the comfy chair and got it a glass of champagne! Ahmed could easily have wallowed in self pity after being born with severe limb deficiencies to his arms and legs and lived in an orphanage in Baghdad until the age of seven, but Ahmed was adopted and brought to Australia by Moira Kelly, became a Paralympic athlete and won a silver medal in the swimming at the Paralympic games in Tokyo in 2021. Ahmed shows that sometimes good things DO happen to good people.
