Before Kate was diagnosed with breast cancer, she was a firecracker: life of the party, full of light and allure and an unstoppable force. Her relationship with James is what grounds her and their love and support for each other was obvious. Kate forged a career for herself in nursing but her dream was to be an artist and a mother. During her free time she could be found riding her motorbike or hanging out with her beloved dog Smudge.
After being diagnosed with breast cancer, all of Kate's plans come to a halt. She tries to come to terms with her condition but cannot control her inner rage. Kate's death was painful for all as she resisted leaving the life she was in love with and the man she had dreams with.
