Why I Ride
2010 will be my 4th year riding in the Courage Classic. I have ridden each year in memory of Parker Caldara, daughter of my friends Jon Caldara and Mara Kelly. This year I am taking it a step farther and have formed "Team Parker"!
Please consider making a donation to support a great cause. I hope to never have the need to use Children's Hospital but I feel fortunate to have such a wonderful facility close to home.

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.
