I am supporting the Courage Classic for my son Bode.
After finding out I was pregnant with a baby boy, I was over the moon excited for him to experience all the wonderful things I got to experience as a child. At 30 weeks pregnant, I found out news about my son that no mother wants to hear, something is wrong with his heart. Bode was born 8 weeks later at Children's Hospital Colorado and diagnosed with aortic valve stenosis. He spent the first 8 weeks of his life in the hospital undergoing multiple procedures and surgeries to save his life.
Because of the life-saving treatments, amazing providers, and state of the art equipment in the cardiac ICU at Children's Hospital Colorado, Bode is thriving! I am forever indebted to their care, heart, and knowledge.
This year I have decided to ride in the Courage Classic, a grueling bike ride through the Colorado mountains and a fundraiser for Children's Hospital Colorado, so that other children can receive the same care and attention provided to Bode. 100% of the proceeds go directly back to the hospital. I hope you will consider supporting me on my journey!
