Spare a thought for Kate Bevilaqua - home destroyed in bushfires

More bad luck for reigning IM WA Champion Kate Bevilaqua whose home was destroyed in the Margaret River bushfires this week. With just 1 week before the 2011 IM WA kicks off this must be a terrible blow to her mental preparations. We know she won't want to give up her title on home ground to rival Rebekah Keat so it will be an interesting race to watch. Kate keeps a blog see LINK - recommended.
