I will be riding the Courage Classic again this year to give hope to Children's Hospital Colorado patients like Havanna.
In the days following Havana’s birth, her parents received heart-wrenching news, as doctors discovered a heart valve deformity that posed a significant challenge.
The Children’s Hospital Colorado provided unwavering support to the family, and Havana, against all odds, grew stronger with each passing day, defying the initial prognosis.
A week later, Havana was recovering from her first surgery at the Children’s Colorado Heart Institute—a temporary fix to buy her time until she was big enough for further heart procedures. Two months later, Havana received her new heart – and the gift of life from a very special donor, the center of every transplant story.
Today, Havana is a healthy elementary schooler who dreams of a future as a veterinarian.
The Courage Classic is not only a personal challenge, but also an opportunity to support positive outcomes and healthier futures for children.
If you can donate to Children's Hospital, I am thankful. If you have already donated through other riders, I am grateful.
Warm regards
Christian
