There are some people who take an active role and become deeply involved in their respective communities. One woman suffered through the effects of an excruciating disease, but didn’t allow her condition to stop her from doing good work in her community.

Katie Harris is a 38-year-old high school social worker and lives in Kansas City, Kansas. She was a competitive tennis player in high school and college, but she was constantly suffering from dislocated joints.
