Why I Ride
The Courage Classic has become such an important part of our family. I look at the tower out at Fitzsimmons and I know that inspirational stories are being spun at that moment. A family is simultaneously heart broken by a diagnosis and empowered by the compassionate, innovative and talented care providers that are Children's true trademark. Another family is walking out with a clean bill of health. Another is morning a hard fought battle lost. While all the stories may not be labeled "success", each family is given the power to understand the fight ahead or behind them. With each tale, I know that the care providers have learned new ways to improve the care for the next family.
I hope that by climbing a couple mountains in July, I can help pave an easier path to more success stories -- so that all families enjoy the beauty that is a childhood.
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.
