For the memory of my mother, Jeanette Sopher — טובה בת יצחק עבדאללה

My grandmother, Helen Ezra, encouraged me to stay active when I was in high school. To honor her, I’d run every Friday afternoon — starting fast and trying to extend my running time each week, pushing myself until I had to wind down into a walk by the end.

I remember my mother walking the quarter-mile track at Valley College with friends, always determined, always moving forward.

She worried when I took on intense physical challenges—marathons, triathlons, and now, incredibly… a 182-mile ride.

But I hope she’s proud of how I now ride for a cause greater than myself.

This is also a chance to raise money for children facing illness. I ride for them too.

For a donation of $1,800, you can sponsor a mile on the Bike4Chai route. The signage can promote anything you'd like: a company or something else meaningful to you.

It’s a visible dedication — the sign will be placed along the route for all the riders to see. Bike4Chai is the largest sporting event in the frum world.

I sponsored a mile myself.

Some details below:

Sponsor a Mile Marker for $1,800.
 

• One sign per sponsorship
• Great way to get a company logo at the event at a lower $ amount!

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.

My goal is to raise $10,000 for this important cause and I hope I can count on you to help me reach it. 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.

Yehoshua
