This summer, I am excited to 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.



*************** Why Camp? We all know from this past year the feelings of isolation and despair, and the need for human beings to be social and active. Now imagine a child with cancer or another serious illness stuck at home all year on the couch with nothing to do, except to wait for their next treatment. Imagine their fear of catching the next germ and making their immunocompromised condition even more precarious. For these families, every year is a Covid year. Camp Simcha gives these children a summer that is relatively normal, allows them to have fun, and to experience hope in their otherwise challenging routine (to put it nicely). ***************



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 provide joy, hope, and unparalleled care throughout the turbulent medical journey.

My objective is to raise $10,000, 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.
