EVENT INFO

We had a good showing for our 2010 gathering. Over 300 bikes and more than 400 participants. We brought in around $7500. Everything went relatively smooth and we even got to hear Katie sing. Great job Katie!

Thanks to you all for your generosity.

Along with our own collection of pics (to be posted soon), Photographer Larry Hartshorn of Renegade Reality took lots of good pictures. Please click the links below to visit.

July 15th:
We're very close! Lots of items up for auction. Weather should be good for riding - or driving! We are friendly to all modes of transportation. Although we may have a core of Harley riders, we all welcome any two wheels or four wheels. Its all the same wind and pavement. This is for a good cause so everyone is invited!

June 27th:
Chris "Birdman" Andersen signed a Nuggets jersey for us. Will be at the auction.
How cool!!!

June 1st:
This year's rally will prove to be the best yet. We're celebrating our 10th anniversary. We've streamlined the event so you can get the most enjoyment and we all can do our best to raise money for a good cause.

A poker run in the morning and a fun auction after lunch.

About Katie's Ride

We are raising money to help find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis. Katie represents over 50,000 children and adults currently living with CF in the United States alone.

All the proceeds from Katie’s Ride are sent to the Denver chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation where over 92 cents of every dollar is used for research and helping those currently living with CF. Over the past nine years, all of our participants and sponsors have helped us raise over $80,000 for this cause!

Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disease that affects the pancreas, liver and lung functions in the body. It is the number one genetic killer of children today. A child born today has less than 50% chance of living to the young age of 36. We have made some progress. Just three years ago that age was 32, but it isn’t enough.

As Katie looks to her 13th birthday, she currently takes 32 pills each day. These enzymes are necessary to help her body digest protein that it otherwise would not be able to digest on its own. She also has to wear a vibrating vest for 20 minutes at a time to help loosen the mucus that builds up in her lungs. By looking at her, you would not know she has this terrible disease.

The statistics show only 50,000 cases in the United States and that it is still considered a rare disease. We personally know of 10 families that have at least one member living with or has died of CF. These families all live in the Northern Colorado area. That does not seem “rare” to us.

Thank you for your continued support and participation! If this is your first time to visit this site, come out and join us!

We will ride to make CF stand for Cure Found!
