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.

What a night for PKD

An incredible night for PKD at the Cards game. Bringing 40 folks from the St. Louis PKD Chapter on the field, our organ Donor Drive with Mid-America Transplant Services at Hrabosky's ballpark saloon, the opportunity to talk about PKD in the FSN Midwest Cardinals telecast and the chance to stand with mom on the field and smile that tomorrow we leave. I can't sleep.

David, I just heard tonight about your trip to Pikes Peak for PKD. During our trips to the Grand Canyon a few years ago, I was amazed at your physical stamina on the trail. I can't think of anyone who would be better prepared to take on such a challenge. We'll be thinking and praying about you during your journey. Kudos to you for giving your time and effort to raise awareness of this disease (you've already raised my awareness). Best of luck to you and your mom on this trip.
