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.

Name:

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.

Cornbread cares

Cornbread morning show on WIL gave us a great interview and you can hear it now at the NEWS Links section. Tonight James Perry and WIL got our organ donor drive at the Cardinals game the promotion it needed.

People are learning about PKD. People are learning to appreciate their co-workers and neighbors who might have PKD or even other kidney diseases. My neighbor Dave just walked up as we're packing the RV to wish us luck and say that his brother-in-law's family is facing kidney disease (not PKD). It's a small world. What you give comes right back .. right away.
