Kat was born with the heart of a racer—always on the move. But in big groups or around new people, she felt shy. That all changed behind the wheel.

When her dad surprised her with her very own go-kart and a shiny helmet, Kat discovered something magical: confidence. With her “magic” helmet on, she wasn’t shy anymore—she was bold, brave, and fast.
