I ride to give hope to Children’s Hospital Colorado patients like Karina.
Karina is Mike's cousin's granddaughter and diagnosed with severe aplastic anemia (bone marrow failure) in early 2023. Karina is about 2.5 years old and a sweet and busy girl! She is a regular at Children's Hospital where she receives platelets usually weekly, blood transfusions, blood pressure medication and other treatments. Karina was given Immunosuppressive Treatment early May and it will be several months before they know whether it worked. Praying they don't have to do a bone marrow transplant! Mike and I have been able to spend time with Karina and her parents a few times at the hospital and Karina always has a smile to share!
The Courage Classic is an opportunity to support positive outcomes and healthier futures for kids like Karina!
