Growing Up Different: She has over 500 Broken Bones by 10 Years Old: The Katherine Klimitas Story

Katherine Klimitas is an artist, motivational speaker, author, and graphic designer. She is living with Osteogenesis Imperfecta, better known as Brittle Bone Disease. Katherine gets around in an electric wheelchair and she is 2 feet, 7 inches tall. By age 10, my guest had broken over 500 bones because of the disease. However, she and her parents refused to let Osteogenesis Imperfecta disease dictates her happiness and upward mobility. During her senior years at Loyola University, she started KAK Art & Designs. She is now expanding her reach and capabilities as a watercolor artist and motivating others to contribute to their communities.

“Some believe in destiny and some believe in fate, but I believe that happiness is something we create.” (Katherine Klimitas quoted this from her favorite hit by Sugarland)
