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.
Shirts are in!
Subrina had this idea to get shirts made with the slogan Got Ovaries? get checked. With the sale of the shirt we've attached informational cards and the Courage wristbands. We hope people will ask what's that shirt say? What does that mean? The proceeds will be going towards the "Katy McKenzie Scholarship Fund" at American River College, where Katy coached and was assistant Atheletic Director.
We sold our first 2 shirts last night, Shell and Aimee wore them proudly.
Love the shirts! Aimee and I are definately proud to wear these...and tell people what they are about.
