Katherine Itacy
Katherine Itacy was born deformed and, by the age of four, had developed both a dangerous spinal disorder and an incurable disease. Yet, 13 years later, she'd amassed five state and eight national high school championship titles in track and field.
She went on to compete in the Division I NCAA Championships and, later, to graduate fourth in her law school class. By 25, she was operating her own law firm and by 29 was serving on three boards of directors for civil rights and criminal justice nonprofit organizations.
Persevering through hate mail, public ridicule, a death threat, and two sexual assaults, Katherine believed sheer will could get her through anything. Until her medical conditions proved that, sometimes, mind over matter just won't cut it.
