Kate Wears

Executive Director

Kate and her family moved to California in 2019, from the UK, when a new job opportunity presented itself and the adventure began! Her two sons have embraced the sunshine state and love the outdoor lifestyle. Her youngest son, Josh, didn’t present any significant symptoms, yet there were a few concerns that put the family on a path to a diagnosis and, just over a year later, Myhre Syndrome was confirmed when he was two years old.

Before family life, Kate graduated with a BA Hons Degree in Journalism in 2004, and a career in communications followed that has taken Kate all over the world representing many well known brands.

Becoming a full-time mum in 2016 gave Kate a new focus and following Josh’s diagnosis she wanted to take action and support the Myhre Syndrome community in anyway she could.

A passion for writing has seen Kate complete a first draft novel, with a dream to one day be published.
