“Our beautiful Kate is going through the unimaginable… This week begins the fight of her life as she begins chemotherapy,” the fundraising page reads.

“It’s great to know I have so many incredible people in my corner. I just got over Covid and am starting my first round of chemotherapy tomorrow,” she said in a statement.

“You have no idea how my headspace changed when I went into it because of all of you. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.’
