As the daughter of an American GI and a mermaid – yes, you read that correctly – a simple life was not on the cards for Amy Price. A talented swimmer, she seemed destined for the Olympics, however experience of sexual abuse cut short her career, and she chose motherhood over medals.
Amy achieved a successful career while raising three children who all earned success in various fields; but for one, Katie, fame was part of the bargain. Amy found herself catapulted into the media circus that followed her daughter, sometimes with devastating consequences. She has always been there to support, guide and console.
As a grandparent to Katie’s son Harvey, Amy has also become a prolific campaigner for families of children with disabilities – but there was one battle she had to fight alone. To many, Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis is regarded as a killer disease without hope of a cure. But submission is not a word in Amy’s vocabulary and so she refused to capitulate to her greatest challenge.
