Pics of Katy

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.

Festival Celebration

After our ride on Saturday we all showered up and went to the Festival celebration. There was food, guest speakers, live music, adult beverages, but what I enjoyed the most was meeting new people. Ames is in her survirship from Ovarian cancer. Last year her friends rode for her, and this year she rode for herself. Way to go Ames!


Brett is a 3 time survivor of three different types of cancer, he kicked peoples butts up the hills!


Team KatyStrong was the top team fundraiser, raising just over $3,800 for the livestrong foundation. Thank you all for your support.
