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

My Photo
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.

Momentum

The PKD Foundation is featuring RTPP in the events section of their website. Kara of the PKD Foundation interviewed us and wrote a story that is at www.pkdcure.org.

The alumni magazine of Northwestern University is considering the story and might incorporate news about the PKD research they conduct. I graduated NU in 1989.

For more information about Pat Pokorny's life and the experience of having PKD and being in a family afflicted by PKD read Pat's PKD story in a blog posting here.
