Ride to Pikes Peak

An opportunity for a mother and son to do something special for Polycystic Kidney Disease, for organ donation and for us.

About Me

Name:

In 1806, Zebulon Pike traveled west and sighted Pikes Peak. We biked 990 miles along his route and then ran the Pikes Peak Marathon. We are so grateful for the opportunity to raise PKD awareness. PKD caused the failure of Pat’s kidneys. A transplant saved her life eight years ago. Pat’s brothers, sisters and mother were afflicted with PKD, seven in all. Pat describes how PKD affected her life and televised news features are in the "News Coverage" link on the left margin.

A Gift - An Obligation - A Privilege

This morning while spinning I had this thought:

The "idea" of riding to Pikes Peak was A GIFT. For two or three months I was reluctant to accept it. Mom was more decisive. Accepting the gift became AN OBLIGATION to follow the idea wherever it might lead. And at the same time we recognize THE PRIVILEGE. We have been able to adjust and plan our lives to "go for it". We're fortunate to have help and support.
