Just before an overseas trip of a lifetime, Katie received an abnormal result from a routine pap smear. She was terrified, and unsure who she could talk to. She didn't know anyone who had been through this process of procedures, appointments, biopsy's and uncertainty. Katie wanted to be part of a conversation, so she started it herself.

In June 2019 Katie started a project called Get Papped, a birthday card for 25 years old women. #GetPapped aims to encourage women to take control of our health and promote a discussion around female health amongst loved ones.
