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.

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.

Volunteering to do the chores

You can take the farmgirl out of Iowa but you can't take the farm out the girl.

Pat is picking up some new volunteer work at Conner Prairie. The "living history museum" in Indianapolis has been the volunteer passion of a lifelong friend of Pat's for years. Pat has volunteered for occasional events in the past but now it looks like it's back to farm chores. Pat will be working with the livestock of the recreated frontier community a couple mornings a week before the museum opens.
