Shauna Kelly sponsored by James Cooper My name is Shauna Kelly. I am 29 and a hospitality graduate. I travelled across Thailand, Bali and the Philipines and worked in Mallorca, Tenerife and Australia, where I settled for three and a half years and opened a cafe. I sold my cafe and returned home where I reconnected with my amazing partner and sponsor James Cooper. James and I live in Graignamanagh with our dog Teddy and baby girl Sky who was born on the 21st of November 2021, six months and two weeks premature, heartbreakingly she was not prepared for this world. James and I are organising a walk as a dedication to our baby for miscarriage awareness which we hope to carry out on October 15, Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day.
