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.

Our Ordinary Life

My son's tonsils were removed yesterday and my wife and I are alternating caring for him at home and working. On Friday I take our dog to be put to sleep. Moles dig up our yard, the utility bills are high, uncomfortable heat, too many "to-dos". In Indianapolis, the roofing company is fixing mom's hail damage. She's checking on some knee pain and pulling weeds out of the vegetables.

Well at least we've got vacation coming. Traveling, camping, visiting, biking to Manitou Springs and the Pikes Peak Marathon.
