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.

Runner's World (Aug 2006) included the Ride to Pikes Peak in its "Real Runners" section on page 28. A paragraph about our ride/marathon and our hopes to raise awareness for Polycystic Kidney Disease and funds for PKD research was next to a photo from the 2005 St. Louis Marathon. Thank You Runner's World!
