In October, 2008, Katie Rideout was diagnosed with a very rare disease called CNS Vasculitis-- meaning inflammation of the blood vessels confined to the brain, the spinal cord and its covering. Katie was a normal, healthy 10-year old girl playing in her volleyball game one day who was not able to move her left arm and leg the next day. Her face and mouth were damaged, as well, affecting her ability to eat and drink. The signs and symptoms of CNSVasculitis are similar to those of a stroke because they result from a reduction or sudden stoppage of blood flow to the brain. Katie has been undergoing chemotherapy and steroid treatments in an attempt to “open” these brain vessels to get blood flowing back to her brain tissues. Treatment has slowed the progression of the disease, but no definite, long-term prognosis has been confirmed.
On Saturday, July 11 at 7:00 p.m., Katie’s family is proud to host “Katie Bug’s Journey”, a Benefit Dance, Basket Raffle and Silent Auction. All proceeds will be used for a Trust Fund established in Katie Rideout’s name. We hope you enjoy this event which will help support Katie on her journey to a cure for her disease.
