Cakes for Cancer with the Denver Broncos Supporting Brent's Place

This morning we attended the Cakes for Cancer Pancake Breakfast with the Denver Broncos to support Brent's Place!  It was an amazing time of fun and fellowship for such a worthy cause.  Cakes for Cancer was started by Zane Beadles, #68 Offensive Lineman for the Denver Broncos as a way he could contribute to helping find a cure for cancer and work with kids affected by the disease.  It was started when he was playing at the University of Utah and met a 7 yr old boy named Ryker who was stricken with Glioblastoma Multiforme cancer.  He lost his battle and Zane wanted to do something to help other kids fight this fight.

Brent’s Place operates two hospital hospitality houses — one near Denver’s Presbyterian Saint Luke’s Hospital with six apartments primarily for adults with cancer and their families, and one adjacent to Aurora’s Anschutz Medical Campus with 16 apartments primarily for children with cancer and their families.

The new facility also includes social and activity spaces, a meeting room, commercial kitchen, library, exercise room, and an outdoor play space designed specifically for immune-compromised children.

In addition to the other fundraisers, Zane and the other offensive lineman will donate $250 for every pancake block made this season, like they did last year and raised close to $15,000!  They are some truly awesome guys.

It was an honor to meet some of the Denver Broncos, and I also got to meet Chef Keegan Gerhard from Chopped!  We love him!  It's not often I get to meet a celebrity.  He owns d Bar Desserts in Denver and was one of the nations top 10 pastry chefs in 2002 & 2004.  You have to visit them!  They have amazing food.

The pancakes we had were from Snooze, an A.M. Eatery, and they were INCREDIBLE!  I will definitely be frequenting that establishment too!
