40: The Final Walk Run Roll for Daniel

Seven years ago when Daniel Giffin was diagnosed with brain cancer, Michael Pharis organized what became an annual event and turned support for Daniel’s family into positive impact for many, including Children’s Hospital Colorado. Daniel’s heroic struggle against the disease ended in 2025. As the final Walk Run Roll for Daniel approaches, on May 2, 2026, Torie invites Pharis, along with ride leader/route organizer Michael Rosell, and longtime sponsor Jenny Vostatek, to share the story.HOST: Torie GiffinGUESTS:Michael Pharis, LYMeventsMichael Rosell, ride leaderJenny Vostatek, Simply Kids Dental LINKS TO ITEMS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Walk Run Roll for Daniel: https://www.bicycleresort.com/walkrunrollLYMevents: https://lymevents.com/Simply Kids Dental: https://www.simplykidsdental.com/Children’s Hospital Colorado: https://www.childrenscolorado.org/ ALSO MENTIONED:Chik-fil-ACerberus Brewing CompanyRAGBRAIMake-A-Wish FoundationCenter for Cancer and Blood DisordersThe Bussey Law FirmFellowship of the RockiesHome Sweet Homes RealtyByers Family ChiropracticNFM LendingPedal the Springs is produced and presented by the Buffalo Lodge Bicycle Resort, the only bicycle-themed lodging and must-stay for cyclists coming to Colorado.
