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.

STL PKD

Tonight my son and I attended the St. Louis PKD chapter meeting. I reported on RTPP progress and talked about my hopes and "best case scenarios" for the effort. Thank you all for the encouragement and support!! In the end, we added a bike rider for a stage of RTPP and raised some money.

And there was the first signing of the flag we're going to fly at Pikes Peak. We hope to fill it with the initials of those living with PKD or those who are no longer with us. My son signed "grandma".
