I would like to also thank everyone for their wonderful comments and thank you to all who voted for the Kate video. Special thanks to Kate & Aaron and all who were involved in the making of the short film. Kate is a fantastic young lady and an inspiration to all who are fortunate enough to know her, while she may have the condition Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa, the cruellest disease known, as she is in constant pain, I have never heard her complain. Unlike the majority of us :)) Keep on painting Kate, you are so talented.

This film opens our eyes to see the suffering of others, and to see how we able bodies can so easily take things for granted. Kate is a great inspiration to me and many others I am sure. Thanks Aaron for being able to capture something of what life is like for Kate and others that suffer with this condition.

Thank you everyone for your kind words. A huge thank-you to Aaron who's done such a wonderful job creating this short film. I had lots of fun on the days that we did the filming. After the competition is finished this short film will be a great way to generate some continual awareness for EB.

What an inspiration, you put into perspective what i take for granted. Would have been nice to hear you tell your story

Kate is my cousin, so therefore I may be a little biased to how special she truly is. However, Kate is a brave and inspirational young lady. When we complain about our own lives and worry about the smallest problems, we need to remember Kate's challenges and what she faces day in and day out. I am so proud of all things that she can do and her determination to try new things. You go girl! Well done to Aaron for showing us a glimpse of Kate's amazing life xx

OMG i have been told so many stories about Kate but never have i comprehended just what such a debilitating condition this is. After watching this video i can only have an enormous amount of admiration for Kate for being such a courageous young women. I have always wanted to paint but never had the condfidence in myself to have a go as i feel that i just dont have the talent. However when i see the beautiful painting Kate has done i feel that at the age of 64 i might just do something about. Thanks Kate for inspiring me and YOU GO GIRL you are a very special person.
