The ride was AMAZING! So much energy and support and love from these women who dedicated tremendous efforts to training and riding the 100 mile route in order to raise money for Camp Simcha, run by Chai Lifeline, and from every one of the hundreds of volunteers who supported and encouraged (and fed) us!

Camp Simcha is a truly remarkable place that gives very seriously sick children an experience that they otherwise could never have. The ride finished up in camp with all the bikers riding in together, and all the kids and staff and families welcoming them with medals and the most energetic exciting experience. It is truly indescribable.

This is no ordinary cycling event; it’s an exhilarating ride ending at Camp Simcha, a REMARKABLE overnight camp that provides seriously ill children with a vacation from sickness, restoring their spirits and renewing their determination to fight.

The ride wasn't easy; neither is life for a child with cancer or other serious illness. Camp Simcha and its sister camp, Camp Simcha Special, are Chai Lifeline’s flagship programs. Every year these two camps offer 430 children a chance to forget about illness and just be kids again. To learn more about Camp Simcha and Camp Simcha special, visit campsimcha.org.

Please consider donating to this truly worthy cause. All donations are 100% tax-deductible.

Thank you so much for supporting me and, in doing so, helping children and their families cope with the diagnosis, treatment, and aftermath of serious pediatric illness.
