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.
DONATE directly to the PKD Foundation

I rode my 100 mile route one more time from Kirkwood to downtown and up the Mississippi to Alton crossing on the old Route 66 Chain of Rocks Bridge. Link to route map here. So sad to discover a favorite landmark neon sign of old Route 66 was wrecked by the massive STL storm.posted by - | Saturday, July 29, 2006
