Summits for Samantha
Why we ride
We ride in memory of our daughter Samantha, our amazing little fighter who lost her battle to mitochondriaI disease when she was four years old. We ride to honor my brother: an amazing father, son, brother and friend who is battling adult-onset mitochondrial disease. We ride for the gritty, resilient, families we have met along the way who are also battling this complex, devastating disease.
We ride for Children's.
We are so lucky to have this hospital in our backyard. The doctor's and specialists at Children's never stopped fighting for our daughter, they keep fighting for our brother, and they are committed to finding a treatment, a cure, and a better, faster way to diagnose our youngest patients.
We ride for Children's.
Our cause is personal but the ripple effect is huge. Summits for Samantha has raised over $1.5MM for the mitochondrial clinic. We have sponsored several clinical trials and provide COQ10, a necessary supplement for our families along the front range.
We are so grateful to this hospital. Their care gave us four amazing years with our daughter. For my brother, this is a place of specialists who are determined to find a cure and help him find the very best care.
We are so very grateful for your support!
With love,
Heather
