Damehood for Kate Richardson-Walsh
Rejected

What the petition asks
Kate is simply the best British sporting role model we have seen in years
What she has done for UK Sport is simple astonishing. Her personal strength at the London Olympics was clear to see and at Brazil her leadership was second to none. Add 275 Caps for her country and really don't think that there is a better female sporting role model and everyone should look up to her
