SUMMARY:Biking for Calendula!
CONTACT:blue crow
DESCRIPTION:This 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 Alberta Park playground at 11:00am and rally at the 
 playground\, will do a lap or two around the park\, and then we will head 
 to Wilshire Park at 11:30am on bikes\, do a couple laps\, then head to 
 Grant Park at 12:15 to parade and play there where we end the ride. \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. \nhttp://www.COTA.org/COTAforCalendula\nMeet at
