This summer, I am excited to take part in Tour de Simcha, an exhilarating 65-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 $15,000 and I hope you will help me reach this goal. All donations are 100% tax-deductible.

As many of you know, my son, yosef, was diagnosed with an extremely rare brain tumor in September. Since the beginning of our journey, Chai lifeline has been absolutely amazing. During our inpatient stays, a member of chai lifeline was in Yosef’s room every single day. They would constantly check in, bring him toys, and just be there during the hardest days of our lives. Thank you for all of your generous donations!
