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.

Memorial Day

It's the last day of a St. Louis visit by mom. We worked on RTPP and had fun too. Who better than Grandma to teach a kid how to play croquet? Pat's next 6 weeks are busy with the US Transplant Games, traveling to Norway with her nieces (following Scandinavian roots) and getting prepared for 3 weeks of RV travel. I want to give a big thank you to my neighbors Curt and Mary Anne who are avid RV travelers. They recommended a few roads and campsites and graciously donated a pair of extra wide mirrors for the Blazer. Plus they made a cash donation to the PKD Foundation.

Today marks the date 16 years since my father passed away from colon cancer. We miss you dad!
