It's taken me a bit of time to gather my thoughts and express them into words. Every year, unfortunately (may Mashiach come quickly), I have who to ride for, whether it be in memory of or in the Zechut for a Refuah Shelaima. Last year I dedicated my ride in honor of Yossi, that it should be a Zechut for him to find a kidney match and have a complete Refuah Shelaima. I truly believe that as a direct result of all the generous donations, they saved Yossi's life when he needed it most.

Yossi is doing well as of this posting (3/16/2023) Baruch HaShem. He is getting stronger and stronger every day. He even recently returned to school full-time. The road to where he is today has been challenging. He does not cease to amaze all his friends, family, teachers, medical team with his courage and bravery, especially over the last four months. We are so so proud of him and may he have a COMPLETE Refuah B'Karov!

It is for this reason that I have decided to dedicate my ride once again in his Zechut. #DoingItForTheKidsAndTheKidneys. Chai Lifeline has been CRITICAL throughout Yossi's 4.5 years but even more so the last four months. Just an example, they arranged a ride every weekend for the last 2 months when he needed to go to dialysis outpatient so his mother can take a break from the grueling drive she was doing twice a week. Another example, whenever Yossi was done with dialysis, the only thing to get him to smile was the thought of going to the Chai Lifeline Kosher room for a noodle soup! This is just the tip of the iceberg of what Chai Lifeline does for Yossi and his family, and hundreds upon hundreds of other families. PLEASE consider donating to keep these crucial (and sadly necessary) services running. May it be a Zechut for ***Yosef Yuspa Ahron bn Chava***.

Please note- all donations are 100% tax-deductible.

On behalf of myself, Yossi, his family, and the children of Chai Lifeline, thank you for your support.

All the best,
