Dear Family and Friends, 

This year will mark the 14th year that I will be riding with Bike4Chai.

What began as a personal challenge all those years ago, has morphed into a real healthy exercise as I bike daily over 30 miles to and from work. I like to think that Bike for Chai can be interpreted that one should bike to extend their lifespan.

I am proud that I have been successful in raising over $10,000 every single year. I have raised over $157,000 dollars in all, and I hope to be able to continue that by asking that you donate generously to my annual campaign.

I am riding in memory of my daughter Chaya Sorah A”H, and my father R Nachum Avigdor HaKohen Z”tl. This year my mother Naomi Bas Nesanel A”H passed away, and I will be riding in her memory as well. Also, I will have in mind my Mother-in-Law Gittel bas Avraham Yosef A"H and my brother R Yisroel Maier ben R Nachum Avigdor HaKohen Z"tl.

This year we have almost 700 riders ready to ride!

My daughter spent 3 wonderful summers as a camper in Camp Simcha, and many members of my family have worked there. Camp Simcha never charges any money for their unsurpassed camping experience, as they rely on the generosity of others to meet their huge budget.

Thank you,

Shmuel Weitzner and family
