Discover Denver by bike and let the good times roll! The 2024 Denver Century Ride features four courses providing registrants the opportunity to "choose their challenge" whether a novice, intermediate rider or an avid cyclist. The 100-mile, 85-mile, 50-mile and 25 Mile courses provide great variety and explore cycling routes across the Denver Metro area. Cyclists will roll past Coors Field or find themselves turning past a horse property with a mountain view a few miles down the road all while supporting a great cause!

ABOUT MOVE IT WITH PURPOSE
This September, DaVita is once again coming together as a Village to do good and raise money for this important cause. Join us for Spirit of the Ride as a Bridge of Life organized Move It with Purpose activity. When you Move for Miles, every mile of movement tracked counts towards a Village goal, which will unlock a $250,000 donation to Bridge of Life to support sustainable programs that treat and prevent chronic disease.
We all have a part to play in supporting kidney care, and Spirit of the Ride during Move It with Purpose is an opportunity to get involved in Bridge of Life's mission to strengthen healthcare globally. With your support of Move It with Purpose and participation in Spirit of the Ride, Bridge of Life's goals to treat and prevent kidney disease in 2024 include:
• Provide lifesaving dialysis treatment by placing 31 new dialysis machines
• Lower the incidence of kidney disease through early detection by screening over 4,000 people for hypertension, diabetes and chronic diseases
• Expand our newly piloted PD room program to provide safe, at-home dialysis treatment for 6 kids in rural Guatemala
• Placement of 52 AV fistulas for pediatric patients through surgical medical missions
• Slow the progression of chronic diseases that lead to end-stage renal disease by empowering 150 Community Health Workers to support, treat and educate high-risk patients in their local communities
