I ride to give hope to Children’s Hospital Colorado patients like Piper.
Piper was diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma – a form of cancer that was growing as a soft tumor in her spine. Today, after many rounds of chemotherapy and radiation at Children’s Hospital Colorado, the creative, big-hearted elementary schooler is cancer free. Piper's family says they made it through a lot of tough days with help and support from every area of the hospital.
The Courage Classic is an opportunity to support positive outcomes and healthier futures for kids like Piper.
I also have a grandson, Aiden, who has benefitted from the caring emergency teams at Children's Hospital as he has dealt with breathing issues from asthma and RSV. Aiden is 4 years old and will be joining his dad, Chris Sjaardema, and myself on the 2024 Courage Classic ride this year.
Thank you for any assistance!
