I'm baaack again! 🚴‍♂️💨

Its been nearly three years since my last ride - evidently someone needed a break, and it was either me or your wallets.  Probably both.

But we are back, and together we will make this the best ride and raise yet!!! 

What?  Supporting the incredible work of Chai Lifeline - while working up my own resolve to take on this demanding cycling challenge once more, now decidedly middle-aged and the father of two full-blown moody, magnificent teenagers and one tough (to top) tween (❤️ my Morris Rosie & Poppy like crazy😘).

Please help me reach my goals here. Donations go toward the services Chai Lifeline provides for children and their families coping with major and chronic illnesses. My goal is unofficially $10k but I'm looking to smash through to $18,000 this year (18 signifies LIFE) with your help. Your LIFE-affirming generosity will be greatly appreciated, by many more than me!  Say that three times fast.  And smash that DONATE button :)

❤️ 🙏🏼 ❤️

PS - I've dedicated my ride this year to the good health and speedy recovery of a good friend:

Below is a description from the organization:

This summer, I am excited to take part in Bike4Chai, an exhilarating and challenging cycling event benefiting the children and families of Chai Lifeline. Every mile I ride and every dollar 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 afterschool 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.

I've committed to raising $10,000 for this important cause and I hope I can count on you to help me reach my goal. 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.

Jared
