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 critical 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, trauma and crisis intervention, and Camp Simcha, Camp Simcha Special, and Camp Simcha Without Borders, Chai Lifeline’s flagship summer programs for children with life-threateningandlifelongillnesses.

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.

As many of you know, my son, Yosef was diagnosed with a highly malignant brain tumor in September 2021. He went through a 7 hour tumor resection, 5 rounds of chemo including 3 stem cell transplants and 6 weeks of radiation which required anesthesia daily. To say he is my warrior is an understatement. We would not have gotten through our journey if not for chai lifeline. They have been a life boat for my entire family, we are forever grateful for all they have done and continue to do. Please help us by giving back and donating to CLL. We wouldn’t be where we are today without them.

My objective is to raise $3,600, and I hope you will help me reach this goal. All donations are 100% tax-deductible.

On behalf of the children of Chai Lifeline, thank you for your support.
