This summer, I am excited to take part in Bike4Chai, an exhilarating and challenging cycling event benefiting the children and families of Chai Lifeline. As many of you know, my son Yosef Simcha Chaim was diagnosed with a brain tumor in January 2022. He fought bravely and passed away in November. Chai Lifeline was instrumental in helping us from the time he was diagnosed through today. It was unbelievable how much help Chai Lifeline gave us including providing modern equipment when our son came home for awhile and arranging a vacation in Long Branch. 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 $18,000 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. Jeff PS.
