What a cute little angel, let adults learn from her, she converted a hard thing in her life into a positive inspiration to others.

I also lost a parent to cancer, at the young age of 8. You face hard adult issues that other kids don’t have to deal with until much later in life - if ever at all. It’s a small club, and didn’t always seem like much fun to be a part of. What Kate is doing is great! These kids can turn an otherwise tragic thing in their life into something positive and unique. Kate is such a role model!

My youngest daughter has to write a weekly paper on a “current event ” for school. We spend hours searching for articles on the computer or browsing through magazines for an article that is “positive” and not related to tragedies or the current war in Iraq. We found it ~ “Young People Who Rock”! This young girl, Kate Atwood, certainly does just that! Instead of closing up and retreating inside of herself, she asked what can I do for OTHERS who are feeling the same as I am? Not many people, especially at the young age of twelve, do that! I am certain Kate’s mother is looking down on her lovely daughter with such love and admiration. Thank you for sharing with us this young group of people who are trying to make a difference in our world today! Peace ~

I interviewed Kate a few years ago for an article in PEOPLE magazine. She is truly one of the best people I know. I can’t think of anyone more deserving of this honor!!!! She has touched more lives than she’ll ever realize — including my own.

Check out some other young people doing great. I love stories life hers and ours.

This is a wonderful organization for children/youths/teenagers who have to suffer the unimaginable. I lost my mother to cancer at the age of 8 and never knew life without my mom’s cancer–she was diagnosed before she gave birth to me.

My mom passed in 1992 and I am now 24–it would have been great to have this for kids my age as it was very difficult to grow up in a world without my mom. The club is very small, but providing support groups such as this will only bring positive outcomings.

What an inspiration you are, Kate!

I think this is a great organization, I just lost my mom last June so I know what those kids are going through and its great that someone did something to help those kids

I think in what you are doing is great and really helping people out. It just makes you a better person to help in hard things that you have already gone through. Keep up what your doing.

I think your organization “Kate’s Club” is a great way to help kids get through the loss of a parent.
Kate your Appreciated by many, and a great modle citizen and a role model to all.

Creating something so helpful out of one of the worst things in her life…she IS an inspiration.

I went to the Kate’s Club family day last Sunday. It really amazed me how articulate every kid there was. It reminded me how quickly you have to grow up and assume new responsibilities when a parent dies.
Just wanted to let you know, I’m putting together a longer story about Kate that will air on CNN Sunday Morning this Mother’s Day.
