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.

Team Pokorny + 1

Last month when our friend Bill Wrede offered "I’ll do what I can to assist you in your quest" he meant it! He booked a couple one-way flights and will join us in Kansas City and continue to Colorado Springs.

Bill was a student of my father at Concordia Seminary and a frequent guest at our home for dinner and visiting. He is a pastor for deaf Lutheran congregations in New York.

Thanks Bill! Look for the big trailer outside baggage claim in KC. We're gonna have some fun!!
