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.
