OCTOBER 2009 - Just
16 months after Kate's Kart began rolling, we
handed out our ceremonial 10,000th free book to
a hospitalized child!

The selected recipient was Austin, a 10-year-old
oncology patient going through his 3rd round of
chemo at Lutheran Hospital. A few phone
calls confirmed that Austin's favorite comic
book series was Captain Underpants, and that he
only had one or two books in the series of ten.
On Monday, October 26, 2009, Kate's Kart
co-founder Krista Layman, and a few volunteers
arrived in Austin's hospital room with a bouquet
of balloons and the whole series of Captain
Underpants books.
"I can honestly say
that the experience totally solidified why we do
Kate's Kart," said Krista Layman. "It
makes the countless hours I spend on Kate's Kart
each week so worth while. I
know for a few moments that Austin forgot why he
was in the hospital, and found joy in a cartoon
hero who wears only his underwear and a cape." |
