  • KATIE WELLS PRICE '96

    Katie Wells Price OS’ 96 SCA ‘00 was on Talk of the Town and News Channel 5 discussing both of her books. Katie is the author of two children’s books. In both of them, Katie shares her real-life experiences. She hopes that sharing her triumphs will encourage those with disabilities who have a dream of doing something on an elite level that anything is possible. The message in these books is an important one: the journey may be long, but - with courage and a Mom who never loses hope - Katie learns not to be limited by having one arm but, rather, to be empowered. I Can Still Do Everything with One Arm shows how Katie became a Paralympic champion swimmer, despite being told by her first swimming instructor that she would never swim. Her second book, I Can Still Work at the White House with One Arm, explores her working at the White House and living in our nation’s capital. Katie hopes to help as many parents and children - and anyone who needs encouragement as possible, so please spread the word about these books! Both books are available on Amazon.
