Kathy Pounds Graham

She was a pioneer in the fight for equality in the field of disabilities. She had a vision that her sons—and others like them—would have the same opportunities in life that their able-bodied peers enjoyed.

Because of her vision, dedication, determination, and faith in God, many opportunities for people with disabilities were created. Many of these opportunities, which she and her sons planted the seeds for, have now come to fruition—allowing individuals with disabilities to live, work, recreate, and participate in life alongside their peers.

Although her sons are no longer with us, Kathy continues the legacy they began together. She remains committed to educating the public about the world of disabilities through the eyes of herself and her sons, as they made history together.

She is the proud mother of two young men born with a rare disorder that limited their ability to live life as society typically expects. She became a fierce advocate in the fight for her sons’ right to live as normal a life as possible—and for the rights of all children with similar challenges.

Kathy is also a warrior in her faith, firmly believing that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God and that He came to earth to die on the cross for the remission of humanity’s sins. A woman strong in faith and humble before her Lord and Savior, Kathy’s testimony will shine throughout the pages of this documentary about her sons’ lives, entitled Hearts of Gold: Broken Bodies, Immeasurable Blessings.
