We can do hard things. Earlier this year I mentioned in a post for World Down Syndrome Day that we would be cycling once again in the Courage Classic in Copper Mountain Colorado. On July 20-21 we will ride with the "Dare to Ride" team supporting the Sie Center for Down syndrome at Children's Hospital in Denver.
I ride to give hope to Children's Hospital Colorado patients with children like our daughter who was born with Down syndrome. With the help of the Sie Center for Down Syndrome at the Children's Hospital, we are able to have some of the worlds experts work on research and patient treatment to not only improve her life, but many others in our community and across the globe. The Sie Center directly impacts cutting-edge discoveries from their research lab and use that with patients in the clinical setting.
I ride for our daughter who has fast become a 3 year old that has a blossoming personality, tenacity to move and learn and has an infectious smile and laugh. She is the center of our world and my wife Michelle Bishop and I are so lucky to be her parents.
The last couple of years we've seen friends join without any cycling experience and excel on the course. This year we hope to see more of our friends and colleagues out there, but if you cannot join our team and cycle, you can help us to our goal in our fundraising. Your support of our family throughout the last few years has been inspiring. Donations will go directly to the Sie Center. Company 2:1 matching will apply as Childrens and the Courage Classic are 501c3 orgs.
Thank you so much for your time, talent and treasure. We cannot wait to see you at the starting line in Copper Mt in July or your name on the donation leaderboard. If you have not ridden before, have an itch or have always wanted to ride some of the most beautiful terrain in the US please take that leap. If you want to know more
Much love,
The Ebner's
