Hi everyone! This year, I plan on embarking upon my fifth Bike4Chai. I successfully completed the ride from 2015 through 2018. Last year I was unable to ride, as I was a counselor in Camp Simcha Special, were I witnessed the unbelievable work of Chai Lifeline firsthand. This year has been different for all of us. While the world has seemingly “shut down” because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Chai Lifeline has been busier than ever offering continued care and support to its vulnerable families. Though Bike4Chai may seem months and miles away, the children and families that rely on Chai Lifeline’s services need our support now more than ever before.

Throughout this crisis, Chai Lifeline has been providing families with essential services, including meals delivered to hospitals and homes, transportation to medical appointments, emergency financial assistance, counseling, insurance advocacy, personal protective equipment for immunocompromised families, and care packages and virtual programming for quarantined children.

While we don’t know what the future holds for this year’s ride. or more importantly, for our children, we can all have a powerful impact today. We are determined to continue helping our families during this critical time by raising as much money as we have in previous years. Please join me and contribute to my page by clicking the button below, help me reach my goal of $5,000. This year’s journey may look a little different, but our goal remains the same.

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

Best Regards,

Shim
