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.

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.

Help from my friends - part 2

I have good training partners. Friends who are up before 5am to bike 100 miles, friends who run when it's 10 degrees out and friends who invent crazy stunts like running 20 miles between four Starbucks and getting espresso shots at each.

Saturday a big group of us gathered to run the Chubb trail. Several are flying out to the Pikes Peak Marathon as part of the 180 Energy Runners.
