Died after a long 15 month battle against a rare form of cancer
Katie born on 29th September 1986 a normal healthy baby to proud parents Julie and Micky. However at 6 months Katie and her family were faced with the daunting news of a terratoma diagnosis. Surgery on this occasion was the only option, with a 8 hour operation leaving poor Katie fighting for her life in intensive care. If this wasn’t enough of a battle at such a young age the cancer returned shortly after her third birthday. The news at this time was bleak with certain doctors saying recovery was extremely rare. Katie being the fighter she was endured 6 months chemotherapy followed by more surgery and yet again this brave courageous girl defied all odds to pull through. Katie went on to live a happy childhood and like all teenagers lived life to the full, successfully gaining 9 GCSE’s, 4 A Levels and starting university at Scarborough. However unfortunately shortly after turning 19 the cancer returned, with chemotherapy and radiotherapy being the course of action. A further 15 month battle was faced by Katie, with this unbelievable girl managing to maintain a smile and constantly putting other people first. The gruelling effects of the cancer and chemotherapy didn’t even prompt Katie to complain, if this wasn’t inspiration enough she proceeded through the pain to produce a video to help other teenage cancer sufferers (www.jimmyteenstv.com, Sheffield link). Devastatingly Katie’s brave battle was lost on 27th March 2007, leaving a large void in many peoples lives.
KATIE
You were beautiful inside and out
Your thought's were for others that was never in doubt
You were beautiful, vibrant, bubbly and kind
No better person could we ever find
To be in your presence was always a pleasure
The love that surrounded you, you couldn't measure
We'll never forget you and words cannot say
How much we will miss you every minute, every day

You were our Princess, our Angel
Love you always sweetheart
Mum & Dad
