OUR STORY
The Courage Tee Story
Katie’s Diagnosis
Chapter 1
The summer before Katie went into third grade, she was diagnosed with a blood cancer called lymphoma.
She spent the next two years undergoing chemotherapy treatment.
During treatment, Katie had a medical port inserted in her chest so doctors could administer treatment, fluids, and conduct bloodwork.
CHAPTER 1
BEGINNING
The First Courage Tee
Made for Katie
Katie loved the shirt, but after spending hours upon hours in the hospital, she wanted something that felt more like her.
So Casey and Katie worked together to create shirts with Katie’s favorite characters, designs, and colors.
The first Courage Tee was more than a shirt — it was a way for Katie to feel seen, comfortable, and herself during treatment.
FIRST TEE
After Cancer
Chapter 2
In September 2014, Katie went into remission. Three years later, doctors told Katie and her family that her chances of getting cancer again were the same as someone who had never had cancer before.
It has now been 12 years since Katie’s original diagnosis. She attends the University of Southern California studying journalism, entrepreneurship, and Spanish.
