KICKIN’ CANCER!

Families, friends and whole communities are lacing up their sneakers to fight for a healthier future. This year’s Kickin’ Cancer 5K, 10K and Women’s Health Expo in Brentwood will take place Oct. 12!

The Lynne Cohen Foundation () is on a mission to prevent women’s cancers — and it all started with one daughter’s love and determination to honor her mom, the late Lynne Cohen.

Through Megan Tady’s () story, meet Amy Epstein, who turned heartbreak into hope by joining her siblings to create programs that support women at risk, fund groundbreaking research and bring people together through Kickin’ Cancer events.

Meet L.A. Parent

Remember the day you came home from the hospital with your first child? Do you remember holding your baby and feeling this incredible sense of love and joy, but also a touch of sheer panic?

We know! We’ve been there. At L.A. Parent, we’re living it day by day-- just like you. We drive carpools, attend parent/teacher conferences, plan birthday parties, stress about the right schools and camps, and wonder if we are doing enough — or too much?

Being a parent is most definitely the most challenging job, but it is also the most fun and rewarding job we could possibly imagine. At L.A. Parent, we truly feel honored to share this incredible journey with our 170,000 readers, visitors and followers each month.

Our mission is simple: We want to bring our families the best parenting resources in Los Angeles. And we never forget about fun! Our extensive calendar of events is the go-to source of information for fun things to do with your kids each month. We provide you the most in depth list of things to do in L.A. with kids.
