    I know where the hospital is, but is it obvious where to drop off the toys?

    Just follow the crowd bro, the drop off is inside the hospital. They usually have boxes outside in the parking lot as well but being this cold who knows.

    They wouldn't let us into the park to stage, so we met up with some other riders and went to the Hospital by ourselves. Joe found a new friend from the Denver Post who couldn't get enough of his mad wheelie skills and stuffed bear in a bag. Stuck around for a while, then headed out and arrived safely home. Pretty fun time, looking forward to next year.

    Thanks to all who came out!
    Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
    Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
    Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

    Yea dude, I will admit that I almost cried on the main floor there when I saw the couple with the two pretty much newborn babies with the oxygen lines on them and stuff dude, my heart just sunk into ridiculous sadness... Breaks my heart seeing kids at the sunrise of their lives suffer and worst of all not being able to do anything to help bro...

    I had a nephew who was born prematurely and he spent his very short life in the NICU at Children's. The amount of care and attention paid to my nephew, sister and family was second to none. The staff made a profound impact on my family and I will remember them forever. While I had made previous toy runs, they never really hit home until this happened. My first run after this was very difficult. My knees got shaky walking up to the hospital. Every year it gets easier... and more important to me to make this event. It seems trivial to drop a couple of toys off, but it means so much to those kids, their families and the staff of the hospital.

    Just know that the effort you made will brighten those childrens' lives, and if even for a minute, allow them to be children... not patients.

    I'm sorry to hear about your loss bro , the staff at the Children's Hospital has always been great and just helpful in every sense of the word. I sure hope God has nothing but blessings for their kindness and love which they spread through the families and little ones during their hard journeys..... No doubt man, every bit helps for sure and just I am truly glad to be part of this awesome and noble cause for the 5th year straight and many more hopefully to make their holiday season a bit sweeter though the hardships... The little ones and their families being so tough, perseverant but most importantly never loosing faith, it's just such an inspiration and the role models they are which just definitely makes me be thankful of my life, appreciate the important things in it and complaint less... I'd like to volunteer at the hospital one day when I do find the time to do so hopefully soon.
