Katie
came to Shriners Hospital - Los Angeles as an
infant. Born with a heart murmur, one kidney and
a missing tibia, Katie underwent her first surgeries
when she was weeks old.
When
she was a year old, she received her first of
many protheses. Physical therapists at Shriners
taught her to walk. Her undauntable spirit led
her to take on snow skiing, horseback riding,
bowling and competitive golf.
Katie
is now a sophomore in high school and a member
of her school's golf team. Performing since she
was 9 years old, she recently recorded her first
country music CD and plans a career in the entertainment
field.
