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.

Morning of Day 1 Ride

All of us were excited for today. We got up early for coffee talk, which is always my favorite part of the day, we ate breakfast and then.. we looked at the tempature, it was 25 at 7:00 am we were hoping that it would warm up to at least 70 for our start time at 9, what.. we could hope :) Needless to say it was 28 when we left this morning, my goodness that was cold.

Subrina didn't want to get out of the car.




The Wall of Honor was a board that had pictures of people who are battling cancer and people who haven't been so fortunate. There was a lot of love in the room for all the friends and family on the wall.

They had baloons that people got to write messages on to their loved ones. It was a way to let go of some of the feelings we all had. Before the ride started we had a moment of silence and they released them.


Team KatyStrong, Maria, me, Christine, Jamie, Candi and Subrina.
