McKenzie, 32, from Lisburn, and her sister-in-law Bethany hope to go out to
Haiti with Elim Missions, to assist in the Mango Tree Orphanage and the
surrounding village. Kelly is married to Simon and they have two young girls
daughters called Amy and Eva.
What do you like doing on your day off?
I would love to be doing things like getting facials and back massages,
but usually my days off are spent cleaning the house and trips to the
park with the kids.
If you were to choose your favourite meal what would it be,
where and why?
As long as it was cooked for me, I'm really not that fussy.
What has been your proudest moment?
Finally managing to give birth to my first daughter after a
four day labour.
What was the most frightening moment of your life?
Encountering a gigantic spider in my living room not long after
moving to Lisburn. No one warned me the spiders were so big here!
What would you do if you won a million pounds?
I'd pay my own way to Haiti to help out in the Mango Tree
Orphanage and the surrounding village. I'm currently fundraising to get
out there later this year and it would be great to just have the money
to go now. Other than that, I'd do all the work needing done to my house
and splash out on a brilliant family holiday.
What was your most embarrassing moment?
I've a tendency to do and say stupid things, so choosing just
one thing is impossible.
What music do you like?
Anything by Take That.
What sports person do you most admire?
David Beckham of course.
Describe your best ever holiday. What would your dream
holiday be?
My best holiday was when I went to Portugal when I was 13. The
people we met over there were brilliant craic and made it the best
holiday ever. My dream holiday now would be taking the kids to
Disneyworld, Florida.
What is your greatest remaining ambition?
To get out to Haiti and do whatever I can to help the people
get back on their feet. We all know the money donated internationally
hasn't got through to the people who need it and so it's going to take
charities, church groups, missionaries and others who just want to help
to go and change things out there, one village at a time.
If you could spend a day with a celebrity whom would you
choose?
Any member of Take That or David Beckham.
If you were stranded on a desert island what three things
would you want with you?
Suncream, sunglasses and a good book.
