UPDATED MESSAGE, DATED JULY 28:

THANKS TO LOTS OF GOOD FRIENDS, I MET MY GOAL OF RAISING $10,065 IN HONOR OF MY 65th BIRTHDAY ON JUNE 30.

BUT IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO JOIN IN WITH A DONATION OF $65 OR $165 OR $650 OR $18.65 OR 65 CENTS OR WHATEVER YOU CAN DO TO HELP THESE GREAT KIDS AT CAMP SIMCHA.

THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR SUPPORT!


------------------------------------








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.

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 $10,065, 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.

P.P.S. Last summer I had the dubious distinction of being the VERY LAST RIDER TO CROSS THE FINISH LINE!!! -- 80 miles in 12+ hours :-) (I believe in the Tour de France they call it Lanterne Rouge -- The Red Lantern)
