SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — Kathryn Morgan has had a love for dance all her life. She’s good at it too. At age 17, she was hired at the New York City ballet, where she soon became a soloist. She was living out her dream. But then at 21, she was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease.
“In very layman’s terms, your body attacks itself and as a professional athlete, it was terrifying because my muscles started to disintegrate, my hair fell out, and I gained 45 pounds in six weeks," Morgan said. "Which as a ballerina is not a good thing.”
