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.

Colorado Springs Gazette reports from the finish line

Milo F. Bryant a columnist for the Colorado Springs Gazette interviewed mother and I at the finish line. His story is a great wrap-up. Family’s journey is for good cause. Also mentioned in his blog at blogspot.com

Thanks everyone for your prayers and calls. Mother, Clayton and I are doing well after our auto accident returning to St. Louis.

Opportunities in life are given. It's up to us to accept them. We are so glad we went after this one. It was awesome!
