Kate’s Courage

Kate’s Courage was inspired by Kate’s journey, to extend the values that guided her through it: compassion, persistence, and belief in others.

The foundation exists to:

  • Inspire people facing their own challenges

  • Support individuals and families navigating pain and recovery

  • Build community around shared experience and understanding

  • Turn hardship into something that helps others heal

Kate remains at the center of this work, not as a symbol, but as a living example of what hope can look like when it’s grounded in real life.

Kate’s Courage Foundation Mission

To support the creation of a “PATIENTS FIRST” center with compassionate, coordinated care designed for functional rehabilitation of HSD/hEDS-related chronic complex conditions, and to fund auxiliary programs that support the clear goals of the center.
