I am hiking Pikes Peak with Team Kumi because I have known many people who have suffered from Brain Injuries.
I feel so blessed to have 10 fingers and 10 toes, I feel a need to help others .
I accomplished this hike in 2016 . In 2017, I was knocked out by a lift gate from a 4WD . I struggled for 2 to 3 months with just trying to live life. My employers were so supportive as well as my husband who travels and my 14 year old daughter. I am now 7 months out and I can feel more healing every day. I was not as badly injured as these survivors and it makes me even more dedicated to raising as much money as I can for the cause.

Kumi is Donna Coto's dear friend who suffered from a Brain Injury as a teenager, she is now 40ish. She needs 24 hour care. Donna is a very special lady and when your in her presence she exudes love. She has been doing this hike for 10 years and I am so grateful to get to be there with her. Kumi's parents will be there this year and it will be amazing. You never know how blessed you are until you get up there on Pikes Peak and see the beautiful souls and hear their stories. Truly, when the human spirit convicts on a direction it will get there as long as it does not change it's mind.
Please contribute and support the families of the families of survivors.
Thank-You!
