Kathi was born and raised at the Jersey Shore and made the transition to Plains MT 3 years ago with her partner of 10 years Nick who is also original from the Garden State. Coming from a family of Breast Cancer Survivors and many friends who have also survived this horrible disease, I decided it was time to help people of this community anyway I can. I am a mother of three. I enjoy the summers soaking in the great outdoors, a huge animal lover and look forward to spending time with the love of my life.

Traci is the mother of 5 and enjoys concerts, traveling, and tooling around in their side-by-side.
