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.

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.

Organ Donor Drive - Aug 2 - Cards game

Mid-America Transplant (MTS) services and WIL 92.3FM will help us with an Organ Donor Drive before Wednesday's Cardinals game. We'll set up our PKD RV trailer and WIL Cornbread truck near Hrabosky's Ballpark Saloon where MTS will answer questions and help people complete forms to become a registered organ donor in
Missouri. Only 34% of licensed drivers are enrolled in the MO organ donor registry! We need more Missouri citizens to sign up and save the lives of our neighbors, our co-workers and our families.
