My Story


Katie was diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma, a rare type of pediatric bone cancer, when she was 17 years old. Throughout her 6 years of fighting fiercely, she found joy in creating artwork to raise awareness for childhood cancer. 

While fighting cancer, Katie made it her mission to live a limitless life. She spent her days traveling to National Parks, seeing as many concerts as possible, and connecting with everyone she met. She especially loved connecting with her fellow childhood cancer Warriors and supporting them however possible. Whether it was in the crafting world, the childhood cancer community, her Warrior Family, School, and Church friends, or a stranger on the street, Katie built a community of strength.  

Katie passed away on November 25, 2024. She is deeply missed by all who knew and loved her and her memory continues to inspire us all to #LiveLifeLikeKT.
