On September 7th, I am excited to take part in a local version of TourDeSimcha - The Ultimate Women's Run/Ride Experience benefiting the children and families of Chai Lifeline. Among other things, this amazing organization helps all kinds of Jewish families and children who have cancer and chronic health conditions.

Every mile I ride and every dollar that I raise will help support critical programs and services for more than 6,000 families impacted by 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 after school programming, Big Brothers/Sisters, crisis and trauma intervention, and Chai Lifeline’s flagship medically-supervised summer programs, Camp Simcha, Camp Simcha Special, and Camp Simcha Without Borders.

My goal is to raise $1,800 for this important cause and I hope I can count on you to help me reach it. All donations are 100% tax-deductible. 

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. Please contribute generously by clicking on the donate button now.

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