So who am I?  Well that's a fair question, especially as you're probably thinking 'this Katie has written a whole website all about herself, which must mean she's either a) really important, or b) really exciting, or c) really bored, or d) really deluded, because no one takes personal websites seriously anyway, or e) really loving her work!'  The answer is none of the above, not even the last one.  I'm just somebody who happens to have a rare and quite debilitating disorder which I live with very successfully.  I feel duty-bound to tell the world that life doesn't end at disability!

My name is Katie, I am 24 years young and I'm from Coventry in England.  The disability I have is called Friedreich's ataxia and here you can read all about it and my life as a disabled person...
