I use to live in Long Beach and loved driving down PCH to go to work in Newport. Every day I would look at the surfers, the cyclists, the runners, walkers, talkers, everybody that was outside and wonder.. how do I become one of those people? What do they do for a living?
Within the last 6 months, my partner and I split, I moved, I lost my job and I lost a good friend. Silver lining?? I was able to become "one of those people". Someone who was able to ride their bike every morning, meet friends in the middle of the day just because and spend quality time with friends and family.
I've met some new people along the way, got to know others better, worked through some challenging times and feel very fortunate to have had this time. I start a new job on Monday and am excited to learn something new. Although my schedule won't be as flexible, my time with friends and family will still be a priority. Because at the end of the day I don't think anybody says.. I wish I would have worked more..

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.
