Founder Ocean Kent with the Year One Boots On The Ground team — 2023
Year One · 2023
Where it started

From one team, to a whole movement.

Three years ago, Ocean Kent and a handful of family, friends, and supporters showed up in matching tees, tutus, and a homemade collage — determined to put Maricopa on the map for breast cancer awareness. What started as one small team has grown into a citywide walk powered by survivors, sponsors, and neighbors.

"Every step carries a story." — and it all started right here.
