I ride to give hope to Children's Hospital Colorado patients like Zayne.
Zayne has a condition known as Restrictive Cardiomyopathy
Pediatric RCM is a rare condition where the ventricles become stiff and do not expand. The atria becomes enlarged and blood flow to the heart will eventually be restricted. The cause is not known, and there is no cure. Zayne was born in 2010, and 14 months later was given the diagnosis, by 2015 had recieved a heart transplant.
I have known Zayne and her mom since my first Courage Classic in 2016. I have been fortunate enough to ride for Zayne each year and will continue to do so as long as my legs will pedal my bike. Watching Zayne grow is very inspiring and a true testament to the power of medicine.
Zayne was recently put back on the transplant list. Fingers crossed it happens quickly and affectively!!!
The Courage Classic is not only a personal challenge, but also an opportunity to support positive outcomes and healthier futures for children.
Lets raise some money for the wonderful children and the Childrens Hospital Colorado Foundation!
