This is how it all started, I have friends that are supportive and friends that are competitive. At times I would think why can't we just do these events for fun? It was never like that with this group of gals, especially for Subrina. But the day we found out that Katy was diagnosed with Ovarian cancer we all became the supportive kind. It was a blow to us, we thought no way this could be happening. It's something we hear about, not live through. It's been a year and a half since Katy's diagnosis and we're left with her memories. But I know one thing Katy would be proud of, and that's the fact that we've all stayed friends and have made new ones along the way. Our mission is simple, it's to help spread awareness for early detection of Ovarian cancer. All of our friends will be doing events, runs, cycling, wine tasting, beerfests (hey competition is competition!) and along the way we'll be spreading the word.Stay tuned for what stories we learn along the way! Katy was an amazing, inspiring person who truely lived life to the fullest. We love and miss you much.
Ovarian Cancer Awareness Postage Stamp
Unfortunately there have been too many people that have been affected by ovarian cancer. Within the last 5 years I've lost 2 people to the disease, and have been hearing more and more stories of people who have been affected. I came across this petition that was started to get an Ovarian Cancer Awareness Postage Stamp printed. It just goes to show the extents of what people will go through to help bring awareness to others.
Only love and support from family and friends can inspire a woman with this disease.More power!!!
