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.This will be my THIRD time participating in this incredible event.
This year I will be riding in memory of Michael Weisz z'tzl (Meir Yitchak Ben Yosef Eliyahu Hakohen) from Columbus, Ohio. Columbus became my new home in 2015 after I got married. Mike was a visionary leader and was dedicated to making Jewish life in Columbus thrive for young families.
I plan to represent Columbus and our amazing growing community.
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 $2,500, and I hope you will help me reach this goal. All donations are 100% tax-deductible.

I have decided to increase my fundraising goal to $3,600!
