I am riding in memory of my dearest friend, Rivkah Chaya Karen Bas Pesach A”H. The week of the ride, we will be commemorating her 11th Yortzeit, and I miss her every day...Karen was larger than life, exuded positive energy and she was a true inspiration to all who knew her.
On August 5th, 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. This is a cause that meant so much to Karen.

This ride won’t be easy; neither is life for a child with cancer, disabilities ,or other serious illnesses. 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.

Thank you HaShem for allowing me to do this, and thank you for partnering with me and elevating Karen’s Neshama.
Tizku Lemitzvos!
