Once again, this summer I will take part in Bike4Chai, an exhilarating 100-mile cycling event benefiting the children and families of Chai Lifeline. Every mile I ride and every dollar I raise will help support more than two-dozen essential programs for more than 5,900 children and families confronting pediatric illness, crisis, and loss. These services include counseling and case management, meals delivered to hospitals and homes, transportation to medical appointments, emergency financial assistance, insurance advocacy, i-Shine afterschool programming, Big Brothers/Sisters, Project Chai crisis intervention, and Camp Simcha and Camp Simcha Special, Chai Lifeline’s flagship medically-supervised summer programs.

I am honored to be riding once again with Team Nightriders - an amazing team of individuals, some of who have overcome significant medical and/or physical challenges in life; Captain JJ Eizik, a former camper of Camp Simcha and cancer warrior; Bike4Chai Coach and Triathlete David Rohr, who suffers from a severe case of Dad jokes and "DA"; Yehuda Gelman, a survivor of 30+ hydrocephalus related brain surgeries and Founder of Highway of Hope, an organization close to my heart that I am a part of and Yehuda Tischler, a former Camp Simcha camper, both who have never let CP hold them back from anything in life just as FD has never let Yehuda Leib "Blondi" Blonder hold him back from anything.

Our team moniker originates from the fact that our team's ride tends to end hours after 99% of the riders have long since arrived, though we pull into the finish line with much greater fanfare and celebration.

Life for a child with cancer, disability, or other serious illness is grueling. From the moment of diagnosis, Chai Lifeline’s dedicated staff and volunteers are there to help.

My objective is to raise $10,021, and I hope you will help me reach this goal. All donations are 100% tax-deductible.

Please contribute generously to this important cause by clicking on the donate button now.
On behalf of the children of Chai Lifeline, thank you for your support.
