This fun and happy 8 year old girl is a bright and shining star to everyone who meets her. She loves gymnastics and watching movies. Her favorite movie is Avatar because Kat, like her, has epilepsy. This young girl’s seizures began when she was just a baby at 6 months of age and despite numerous different trials of medications they are refractory and she will likely never be seizure free.
This knowledge does not slow this young girl down. She works tirelessly, with the help of her family, to inspire and advocate for children with epilepsy and to educate other kids about epilepsy. Last year she organized “Purple Day” where she taught her classmates what to do if they see someone having a seizure.
Alberta Dreams cannot wait to send this young girl and her family to Disney World to enjoy a new adventure in a far off land and hopefully meet Ariel in person.
