I ride to give hope to Children’s Hospital Colorado patients like Sofia. Please read her story as there are so many kids like her that need our support.
Eating has always made 17-year-old Sofia’s stomach hurt. Eventually, she was diagnosed with gastroparesis, which means her stomach wasn’t emptying properly, along with a form of disordered eating stemming from the terrible pain she experienced during digestion. She also has a blood circulation disorder and a very rare connective tissue disorder that affects every system in her body. A multi-disciplinary care team has helped Sofia mitigate her symptoms and work through her pain and medical trauma.
The Courage Classic is an opportunity to support positive outcomes and healthier futures for kids like Sofia. I am truly blessed to have the opportunity to ride in this event and to do my part in helping kids like Sofia. Thank you for your support!
