I wasn't going to do any charity rides this year, so much uncertainty and turmoil. My mind changed. You see, my PA at work has taken off from work to help his young wife battle stage 4 lung cancer ( she never smoked) . Cancer still kills even if Covid 19 and BLM take center stage. We need to help when we can, so it's time to step up to the plate for those who need our help !

This year my passion is directed to helping kids with cancer and other chronic diseases which is heartbreaking for anyone to see.

Life for a child with cancer or other serious illness is grueling.

Chai Lifeline has been on the front lines of fighting illness for many years and it has been brought to the forefront to an even larger degree during this corona virus. Their crisis intervention team has been available 24 hrs a day and has spent a countless number of hours helping families deal with the most devastating situations.

Chai Lifeline is so much more than Camp Simcha. Chai Lifeline's 12 regional and international offices provide more than two-dozen, free year-round programs and services to more than 6,000 children and families confronting serious pediatric illness or loss. These include case management and counseling, meals delivered to hospitals and homes, transportation to medical appointments, emergency financial assistance, respite services, after-school programming, crisis intervention and bereavement support, Big Brother/Big Sister programs, family trips and retreats, and so much more.

The Charity will be an epic bike ride Thursday, August 13, 2020. All donations are 100% tax-deductible.

This is no ordinary ride; it's an exhilarating 120-mile bike ride through NY, NJ and PA. an event 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.

Please partner with me in this endeavor !!

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

Best Regards,

Rubie
