'Her Future is in Her Own Hands': KK's Journey with Achondroplasia

In the first installment of our new ‘Patients Are Counting On Us’ series, KK and her family talk about how they approach living with achondroplasia.

To say that KK does not let living with achondroplasia hold her back would be an understatement.

The 10-year-old is among the most active kids in her Louisiana neighborhood, counting soccer, swimming, cheerleading and horseback riding among her many hobbies. She goes fishing with her dad, rides ATVs and drives a golf cart modified with pedal extenders around their neighborhood.

“I do have achondroplasia, but it does not make me different from anybody else,” says KK.
