This summer, for the 6th year, 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, afterschool programming, Big Brothers/Sisters, Project Chai crisis intervention, and Camp Simcha and Camp Simcha Special, Chai Lifeline’s flagship medically-supervised summer programs.

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. Particularly, during COVID-19 when many organizations were unable to function, Chai Lifeline expanded their efforts to help children who were even more isolated and desperate for activities and help than before.

This year, I am dedicating my ride to the memory of my mother, Renate Bauman. Throughout my life, whenever I took on challenges, she always supported me no matter how crazy she thought they were. Every year riding Bike4Chai she wanted to know all the details of how the ride went and how much we raised for the children.

My objective is to raise $30,000, 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.

Gary
