This is my second year participating in the Courage Classic Bicycle Tour to benefit Children's Hospital Colorado. I've been lucky to have spent my last 6 years learning and working here at CHCO as part of the pediatric infectious diseases section. I have witnessed the life-changing care that patients receive here and am honored to give back to this incredible organization however I can.
Four years ago, my experience with CHCO became more personal when my daughter, Julia, was diagnosed with a congenital cataract just after she was born. After two surgeries (the first when she was just a month old) and innumerable visits to the ophthalmology clinic, I am beyond thankful for the skilled, compassionate, and thorough care my daughter has received.
Thanks for your support as I raise money in honor of my daughter Julia to help CHCO in its mission to improve the lives of Colorado's children.
