Comment: Your website is something else. Very well done, the pics are great and your history pages are informative and fun to read. You are brave for showing pictures during the difficult times. I admire you for that and know that it will help others. When I was that puffy and bloated, I refused to have pictures taken and threw away any that slipped in. You have an amazing attitude and feel lucky to have met you at the VF Symposium. You left an impression on me - you reminded me of some of the things that are so worth fighting for - like life, happiness and family. Congratulations on all of your accomplishments and may things continue to go well for you. Kathy

Comment: TRY AND KEEP AS UPBEAT AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN. IT IS SO IMPORTANT THAT YOU MAINTAIN A HEALTHY AND POSITIVE ATTITUDE DURING THESE TIMES. THINGS WILL GET BETTER FOR YOU AS YOUR TREATMENT CONTINUES AND NEW ADVANCES IN MEDICINE WORK THEIR WAY IN. WE ARE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU

Comment: Kate, thank you for your email last night and for the link to your website. You are a remarkable young woman and you are making a difference in people's lives by sharing your story. Please continue to take care of yourself and to update your website. I plan to share this with my husband and you may be the only way I can convince him to get back on the prednisone! Again, thank you! I appreciate it more than you'll ever know! Heather

Comment: Hello love, I just want to let you know that I love you. I just want to remind you to take it easy and don't overdue yourself especially because you have a birthday coming up soon. we need you in excellent health.

Comment: Hi Kate - I met you at the Boston chapter meeting of the VF on 11/18/08. You seem so full of life that it's hard to believe that you still struggle with CSS. Hope to see you at the walk in May so we can talk some more. (My mom was recently diagnosed with CSS and the Boston meeting was the first VF event that I've attended.) Keep thinking positive!

Comment: Great web page! Keep up the good work and thanks for the Singular info. I was taking it for a quite while before I was diagnosed with CCS and did think that maybe it was the cause but who knows I no longer take it. Good luck with everything.

Comment: Hey Kate! It's been ages.. just wanted to say hello and send you best wishes! I enjoyed your web page because it is the positive side of what often feels very ugly, I'm sure. I enjoyed seeing your smile and accomplishments! Keep on smilin' lady!

Comment: Kate, Whats up? Jace sais Hi

Comment: Hi Kate. I was diagnosed with CSS last year...one year now and counting. I am starting a support group in the town I live in, and do regular posts om my blog, and after I get a few other matters attended to I will start my efforts to raise funding for CSS and other vascular diseases. Lew

Comment: Hi Kate, I have been thinking about you a lot. I see your posts on the CSS site sometimes. I see what wonderful things you are doing. I will never forget what you and your mom did for me when Kev got so sick. If you ever need anything, you know I'm always here for you and I always will be. Love you. Don't ever give up, Kate. You have done remarkable things in spite of CSS. Maybe one day there will be a cure and you and Kev and everybody else with it can finally breathe easily. I pray for that everyday.

Comment: Hey Kate! I wish I could be at the golf tournament but I am in Boston. I just started grad school and am working like crazy. Good luck with everything! I'm sure it will go well.

Comment: Kate This was the first time I visited your site and all I can say is WOW, Great Job. Also, Elaine & I had a fantastic time at your 2009 Western Mass Vascilitis Open Golf tournament. Please express our personal thanks to not only your Mom, Dad and Sisters, but to all your friends and volunteers as well; especially Carl Cieplinski for carrying Elaine & I for 18 grueling but most enjoyable 18 holes of Golf. Stay Well! Bob & Elaine

Comment: Kate: This is the 2nd time I've read your story, and you are beyond amazing. You inspire us all to work more and fight harder to raise awareness and research money for CSS. I'm delighted to be on the CSSA Board with you, and I hope I have the privilege of meeting you in person at the symposium. You help us all keep our spirits up with your wonderful attitude...God bless.

Comment: Hi to All, I will fight this disease forever because I am not going to let it win!
