Riding Against Childhood Cancer
Welcome to Climb for Coop, a North Denver team in its eighth year of riding to honor Cooper Deming and to raise funds to crush childhood cancer.
Cooper was 12 years old when he died on May 9, 2017. He had an incurable brain tumor known as DIPG — Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma. DIPG is considered rare and always deadly.
We ride to honor all the kids and families affected by this terrible disease, and to raise money so that others may have a brighter future.
The money we raise for the Courage Classic goes to support the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders (CCBD) at Children's Hospital Colorado.
And new this year: Every dollar raised by Climb for Coop for the Courage Classic will be matched by a generous private donor and directed to a new fund dedicated solely to DIPG research.
