Seven years ago, I jumped on a road bike for the first time to join my friends for a 50 mile ride from Boulder to Fort Collins. I'm lucky to have patient and supportive friends because I'm embarrassed to admit how long it took me, but I made it. And just last July, I embarked on my first Courage Classic two-day ride. I didn't get far - a broken derailleur the first day set me back, but a rental gave me the chance to finish the second day!

Kids who have to navigate a frightening diagnosis on a regular basis need your support to get me to $1,000. This helps Children's Hospital Colorado treat every child who needs care, regardless of a family’s ability to pay or services insurance companies cover. Please donate for these kiddos so that hopefully there's a day when many of them no longer need Children's Colorado!
