Dear Friends and Family,
It's that time again! While we were rained out in much of June, it will be a fast and furious catch up in July to get ready for 2 days of glorious mountain cycling! My last training ride in 2023 took me to the top of the mountain in Rocky Mountain National Park, only to be held at the summit while a helicopter evac occurred to fly a critically ill person off the hill. It reminded me of the signs of the chopper landing at Children's - the smell of the fumes in the OR signals that a child has been brought in and will receive the best care available in a 7-state region. Those are the times we mentally prepare for what might be arrving in our OR's, and feel proud to come together as a team for the children we serve.
For the 2024 Courage Classic, I will be riding virtually up Mt Palomar on the Peloton as a neck injury has kept me off the road bike this year.
Thanks to all for your continued support of my ride, the Dream Team and our quest to deliver world class anesthesia care!
Be well and stay safe!
Deb
