I’m participating in the Pikes Peak Virtual Challenge Summit Hike as a representative of UCHealth Trauma Trekkers. As a trauma nurse with specialty in neurotrama intensive care, I support our patients, friends and family members who are recovering from traumatic brain injuries. We hike for them and with them, and 400 of our closest friends! This year is a little different in light of COVID-19 so we will be hiking together but separately in solidarity with out BIAC family. Please join me in working toward the best possible recovery for all!
For the past three years, I’ve actively participated in the Pikes Peak Challenge. The last two years making the trek to the top of Pikes Peak and this year with a COVID-19 twist as it’ll be a virtual challenge. On Sunday, August 23, 2020, four trekkers hiked Mt. Democrat, Mt. Cameron, Mt. Lincoln and Mt. Bross (jumping picture below). With a background in critical care nursing and trauma; I couldn’t think of a better non-profit organization to support. This organization brings resources to traumatically brain injured patients and their families here in Colorado. This is no easy task and immensely helps patient’s and their families when the unexpected happens. I have seen the positive influence they have had on patients I’ve cared for and in turn I’d like to pay it forward. If you are interested in joining a team, making a donation and/or have questions; please don’t hesitate to reach out! We would be happy to have you join the team and support this organization and cause!
