MitoChampion Karen Richtman has been an educator for children and adults all her adult life. She has challenged herself with both knitting and sewing skills, so she could better teach others. She finds joy in making things for family and friends, as well as charitable contributions. Her accomplishments have earned her blue ribbons, as well as published patterns. She loves to take inspirations and make them into tangible items. Her three children and six growing grandchildren keep her busy with projects from sweaters to quilts. Her passion for all things knit or sewn brings her enormous joy and satisfaction.
As a person with Mitochondrial Myopathy, knitting is her favorite craft. She loves to have something to do that is productive, even when she is out of energy and resting. “It is a great way to feel useful even on a challenging day. Additionally, it is fun and rewarding!”
