Hello everyone!
I am signed up for the Courage Classic this year for the 9th time, having trained in the smoke of the Colorado mountains for the past few weeks but anxious to be back in just two short weeks (!) to benefit the care of the kids and families with whom I have the great privilege of working.
Please join me in my effort!
This year, as before, I plan to begin with a long and grueling but beautiful ride of 80 miles on day 1, then a mellower ride on day 2, with 120+ miles and over 9,000 vertical feet over two days. I am asking for your generous support as I ride with over 1,000 other riders to support Children's Hospital Colorado.
Our team "Special Forces", representing the Children's Colorado Special Care Clinic, is dedicated as always to representing our big multidisciplnary team, with doctors, advanced practice providers, nurses, and pharmacists all riding. I am supporting the Courage Classic for patients like those I care for: Derek, James, and Santiago, just to name a few. While many kids are faced with a chronic condition with which they struggle mightily, these kids are challenged with multiple conditions at the same time. They make my ride seem like a piece of cake when I think about what they have to go through daily.
Did you know that Children's Colorado plays a special role in providing care for kids who can't get insurance? Several of my Special Care Clinic kids receive free care that they could get literally NOWHERE else. I am proud of the role we can play in caring for these kids, many of whom are immigrants and some of whom are undocumented but ALL an important part of our family, especially this year. Please help me to help them by donating to my ride today! I have a goal of $500 or more.
The Courage Classic is not only a personal challenge, but also an opportunity to support positive outcomes and healthier futures for children. Please support us with a donation today!
THANK YOU!!
