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.

PKD to the summit

We took the cog railway to Pikes Peak summit and raised our flag signed with the names of people with PKD. So great to be there.

A story about PKD and the ride which aired on KOAA in Colorado Springs is on-line. Watch the story here. On Thursday we'll get a chance to talk about PKD and organ donation during the FOX13 Denver morning news and the FSN Rocky Mountain Rockies telecast.
