I'm thrilled to introduce my friend, Kim Ricketts. Kim is a wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend. Kim is currently 47 years old and has been married to the most wonderful human being, for almost 25 years and has 3 grown beautiful children. She also has a gorgeous and smart grandson, who truly has a giant piece of her heart in Florida. She loves to spend time with her family and travel to visit her children. Kim likes to binge watch "junk TV", drink coffee, bake, yoga, meditate and workout. The only thing that makes her a little different is that she's currently living with Ovarian Cancer (OVCA). Kim's cancer is stage 3C Ovarian Cancer for the second time in 18 months. Once Ovarian Cancer returns it is no longer curable. Kim wants every woman to know the symptoms and be persistent with your doctors. There is no early detection for this cancer! In 2019 22,530 women will be diagnosed and 13,980 will loose their life. Only about 15%-20% of women will be diagnosed in the early stages, so this number needs to change in order to save more lives! If you'd like to get in touch with Kim, you can find her on Facebook (Kim Ricketts) and Instagram @berly95.
