In 2019, my cousin Katie was diagnosed with soft-tissue sarcoma, while she was pregnant with her first child. In September, she had her leg amputated above the knee and in October, her beautiful daughter was delivered early so that Katie could start chemotherapy. In the past year, Katie has learned to walk again, gone through treatment, and taken care of a newborn. Simply put, she is the toughest person I know and my hero.
