Katherine Kuyt // North West

Those with heart valve disease should be able to live, not just survive. For me that is; being able to spend time with family and those you love, laughing and sharing experiences, and being able to see the world and explore new places. Doing what you love with those you love! Life with heart valve disease can sometimes feel like it is full of limitations, but I would love to show that patients can still live life well. I would like to be considered because I love photography, especially catching heartfelt candid moments and new experiences. I am also passionate about heart valve disease and improving quality of life for patients. I am studying for my PhD, researching the recovery of the heart after aortic valve surgery. Being able to photograph the life of a heart valve patient would allow me to combine these and would be an honour.
