We ride to give hope to Children’s Hospital Colorado patients. and because this ride is an amazing experience.
Delaney Goodner fought Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma from 2008 - 2011. She passed on 12/9/2011. We’ll miss and love Delaney forever, but we know that she had the best possible care, the treatment was on her terms, and I believe her death was also. She was willing to go only after all options were explored and she knew her body could take no more. Though Children’s wasn’t a place she wanted to be, she loved & trusted her doctors and nurses.
You may be interested in the story behind our team name, Kick Cancer’s Ass. When Delaney was in her first year a treatment we met a young man who was diagnosed with a childhood cancer during his freshman year of college. Unfortunately we met him during his final stay at Children’s before heading home for 1 last visit. He told his mom to tell Delaney to ‘Kick Cancer’s Butt!’ When we formed our Courage Classic team we started with that and Delaney’s brothers did a teenage modification to ‘Kick Cancer’s Ass!’ – and we keep riding and fundraising to support this cause!
The Courage Classic is an opportunity to support positive outcomes and healthier futures for kids. We ride to improve treatments to reduce relapses, side-effects, and prolong life. We ride for the kids.
Our team intends to designate our fundraising to the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders General Fund, which may be used for any purpose for CCBD.
This event is the most amazing physical, emotional, and spiritual weekend of the year. Connecting with friends, old and new, listening, sharing, and knowing we are all part of making a difference in the lives of so many children. It is so positively overwhelming! It's not just the ride, it's the total weekend experience!"
