SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Biking for Calendula!
CONTACT:blue crow
DESCRIPTION:CANCELLED UPDATE! Due to the stress of smoke and heat\, we're 
 canceling and rescheduling this ride for August 23rd! \n\nThis is a ride 
 to support awareness for organ donation\, specially pediatric organ 
 donation and Children’s Organ Transplant Association! It's a casual and 
 fun ride that is kid and family centered. \n\nWill start at Mt Tabor Park 
 playground at 11:00am and rally at the playground\, we'll play at the 
 park\, take a lap by Lone Fir Cemetery to have a moment of silence for the
  heart donors whose families have helped kids like Calendula\, then we 
 will head to Colonel Summers Park playground at 11:30am on bikes to parade
  and play there where there's a splash pad! \n\nTo help celebrate and call
  attention to the ride\, you can decorate your bikes with calendulas or 
 other flowers or hearts or other organs to celebrate Calendula's journey 
 and promote organ donation awareness. We will have signage for COTA in 
 honor of Calendula and organ donor forms and giveaways from Donate Life 
 Northwest. \n\nThis ride is organized by the mom and 10-year-old sibling 
 of Calendula\, who is a 2-year-old who just received a heart transplant! 
 This was after living at Seattle Children’s hospital for over a year. 
 We're celebrating with community and enjoying life outside the hospital…  
 \n\nWe are so lucky that someone shared the gift of life with us through 
 pediatric organ donation and we're no longer living in the hospital. As an
  anarchist mom having lived in Portland for 22 years\, storytimes\, seed 
 giveaways\, and bike rides with Bike Summer! feel true to our roots as we 
 endeavor to promote COTA in honor of Calendula and pediatric organ 
 donation. \n\nWe learned on our journey that transplant wait times are 
 actually longer here in the Pacific Northwest! Our family is on the other 
 side of having waited for an organ\, but the experience has left us with a
  passion for potentially helping other children and families to not have 
 to endure such long hospital stays and more intense medical 
 interventions\, separations\, and isolation.\n\nThis event is outside\, 
 but we ask those who are able to mask to do so\, we will provide n95 masks
  and we will provide hand sanitizer. This helps keep events accessible to 
 people like Calendula\, who are immune compromised.\n\nPlease message blue
  crow\, Calendula's mama\, with any questions or feedback or ideas about 
 the event! \n\nThis is a free event but we are asking for a suggested 
 donation to go to COTA in honor of Calendula or $5-$20.
