Inspiring, brave, talented, genuine, and absolutely amazing.

Those are just a few words that I would use to describe Katie.

She's a fighter and cancer survivor and is one of the most inspiring people you will ever meet. I could never do her story justice, but because she's one of the most amazing people you will ever meet, The Green Bay Press Gazette wrote an article about her, and they did a phenomenal job of telling her story: Notre Dame's Katie Gapinski Defies Limits. It gets me all choked up and teary eyed. every. single. time.

Did you read it? Okay, good :)

Katie is the kind of person who makes you feel like you're the most important person in the world. She has the best sense of humor, a pretty spot on british accent, the most bubbly personality, and the biggest heart! Anyone who knows Katie knows this is 100% true.

To top it all off, she's really musically talented, like can play pretty much any instrument, and casually fills in and plays the tuba for pep band talented!

I know I don't need to point this out but, KATIE, why are you so absolutely gorgeous?

Here are a few favorites :)

THANK YOU!

Katie, you lil ray of sunshine, you inspire me so much and I'm so proud to call you my cousin! Thanks for letting me take your pictures, and for going past that one sign that said "Do not go past this sign." haha!
Are you sure you wanna go off to college and not model for me 24/7?
Think about it ;)
Love you bunches <3
