An opportunity for a mother and son to do something special for Polycystic Kidney Disease, for organ donation and for us.
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.

Pat has returned from the 2005 U.S. Transplant Games. She participated in the games with John Bergstresser. His brother, Matt, came along for fun. John is also a kidney transplant recipient. They stayed in the RV for the four day games.posted by - | Thursday, June 22, 2006
