My Rider #: 101571
Why I Ride
I ride because my daughter benefitted from the skilled surgeons at The Childrens' Hospital when she was 18 months old and I want other kids to be able to receive the same care as my daughter did. My team, Wheels of Justice, is made up of mostly lawyers and their families and friends. Each of the last two years, the team (around 200 strong) had raised about $200,000 for The Children's Hospital. We are hoping to be able to continue a similar amount this year.
Why I Support The Children's Hospital
Sonja was born in November 2008 with complex heart and digestive issues. Her parents founded Sonja’s Soldiers in her honor because, thanks to Children’s, baby Sonja is growing up – one day at a time.
Spencer was struck by a car while riding his bike when he was 6 years old. With Children’s help, he fought severe head injuries to become the healthy teen – and strong rider – he is today.
Nick was diagnosed with Leukemia when he was 5 years old. His parents founded Team Nickcycle to support Children’s for providing him with the best possible treatment.
Ellaura rides to give back, she says. Now healthy and active at 17, she has been a neurology patient at Children’s since she was 4 years old.
