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.

About Me

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.

Generous people

As my mom said in the TV interview recorded in May, Americans are generous people. That's true. Over $6,000 before we leave St. Louis. Thank you all.

A difference can be made in so many ways. Raising money, raising PKD awareness, recruiting organ donors, helping Congress pass genetic disease anti-discrimination legislation this session. With your help we might succeed. If we can encourage those families, those people with PKD that their struggles and their strength and courage to LIVE THEIR LIVES are appreciated. I want to see that happen!
