UNBOUND Gravel

Johnathon was born and raised in Southeast Kansas, and now lives in Olathe, KS, after attending Washburn University and completing his residency in Denver, CO. He is a father of Raye and husband to wife, Kaitlin.

Biking has become his passion over the past 15 years. Jonathon has taken on extreme challenges, such as the Triple Bypass, a 115-mile ride across three mountains in one day. Since moving back to Kansas, he has joined a cycling club in Lawrence, and has been dipping his toes into various racing prospectives.

During Johnathon’s residency and career as a physician in the Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation specialty, he has worked with numerous transplant recipients. This has given him insight into the worries, struggles, and triumphs recipients go through during their transplant recovery. Jonathan is aware of the need for organ donors and is proud to raise awareness for organ, eye, and tissue donation as he takes on the challenge of UNBOUND Gravel.

Harrison grew up in UNBOUND’s hometown of Emporia, Kansas. At a young age, he learned the freedom that a bicycle can provide the soul. He could always be found on his bike, whether rolling around the neighborhood or taking on challenges.

Harrison lives in Kansas City with his wife, Lauren, and two dogs. He still loves riding through his neighborhood and out on the trails.

Harrison is excited to ride for the Chris Klug Foundation. Harrison is aware that often, the question of whether you would like to become an organ donor can leave individuals with all types of thoughts and emotions. He feels it is critical to share the journeys of those affected, and educate the broader community.

Stephen has lived in the Roaring Fork Valley since 2000, and works for Shamrock Foods Company, whose trucks can regularly be seen going up and down Highway 82.

Stephen has been married to his wife Jessica for eight years, and has helped raise her daughter, Kloe. In his free time, he enjoys skiing, snowboarding, fly fishing, hiking, and biking. Gravel biking has become a hobby for Stephen over the last year after attending SBT GRVL in Steamboat Springs to support a friend.

Stephen has supported CKF for years, competing in numerous Summit for Life events, and is excited to become a CKF Bike team member and spread the word about organ, eye, and tissue donation.

Troy has been cycling for 40 years, and he returned to the bike in earnest in 2023. This was the same year he discovered gravel riding. Suddenly, the dirt roads that surrounded his family farm in Kansas became the perfect practice ground, and Troy began grinding the gravel.

Troy is thrilled to have an opportunity to ride his first UNBOUND, and represent a great cause while doing it.

Troy is ready to support the mission of organ, eye, and tissue donation and educate those in his community about the importance of registering to give the gift of life.
