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.

Hooray!

We pulled into Manitou Springs this afternoon. Today's mileage 53. Total 990 from Fort Bellefontaine. Feel really good. Tired but excited about the marathon on Sunday. I am so grateful for this opportunity with Mom. THAT IS what the bigger picture is all about. Don't waste opportunities. Help others through organ donation. Appreciate the challenges others may be facing, especially life-threatening diseases with no outward signs like PKD. Help if you can.

Thanks everyone.
