Why I Ride
Pictures really do tell the story better than any words. Ellie was diagnosed with a Wilms tumor, an aggressive form of kidney cancer, just before her third birthday. After 14 months of treatment she has now been in remission for one year. Children's Hospital is largely the reason she can run around and be a beautiful 5 year old girl today. I ride in honor of Ellie, in thanks to Children's Hospital and in support of all the absolutely fantastic work they do everyday to help kids and their families get through the toughest things life can bring to you.
This year Team Ellie has teamed up with Wheels of Justice, to directly benefit the Pediatric Cancer and Blood Disorders unit at Children's. Please visit our home page at http://www.teamellie.org/
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.
