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.

Rockies Game - August 17

Our publicity efforts include events at MLB games in St. Louis (Aug 2) , Kansas City (Aug 6) and Denver (Aug 17). On-field recognition before the game is planned in St. Louis and Kansas City but I just found out that the Denver appearance might be the most effective to raise PKD awareness.

The Rockies TV network, FSN Rocky Mountain, has invited us to visit the with the broadcasters during early innings of their telecast that day (August 17). We'll share the story of our ride to Colorado and the PKD folks we met along the way. We'll encourage viewers to register as organ donors and support research for a PKD cure. Plus we'll get to talk about the final conclusion of RTPP, the Pikes Peak Marathon on August 20th.
