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 twelve years, all of our participants and sponsors have helped us raise over $115,000 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.

Katie Thiede

As Katie looks to her 15th 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!

All proceeds are forwarded to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation - www.cff.org

A copy of the 501C3 is available the day of the event.

The CFF will mail receipts for any checks written to the CF Foundation.
