I ride to give hope to Children's Hospital Colorado patients like Matt. I first started riding in the Courage Classic in 2013 and had the privelage of joining the team, Matt's Ride. I rode with his family who still ride today in the memory of thier son.

I will be riding with team Courage from Colorado Springs this year! This is exciting because all the money we raise as team will stay here in Colorado Springs and go to the new Children's Hospital. 

Every year that I have had the opportunity to ride has been an honor. I have seen families riding in support of thier loved ones and it is heartening. There are many like me who ride for the challenge but also the opportunity to support those who have needed care from Children's. Thankfully, I have 3 healthy beautiful children and have not needed specific care. However, I have friends and my kids have friends who have spent more than enough time fighting for their health. 

The Courage Classic is not only a personal challenge, but also an opportunity to support positive outcomes and healthier futures for children like mine.

 Please consider donating to my ride and for the hospital. Thank you so much!
