Simon Bock's Bike4Chai Journey in memory of his father WALLACE BOCK (z"l)
Simon Bock |
Woodmere, NY
Simon Bock
IN 2 DAYS, in memory of my father WALLACE BOCK (z"l), I will partake in a life-changing event: a 180-mile two-day bike ride through New Jersey, the Pocono Mountains, and Upstate NY. This is no ordinary ride; it’s an exhilarating cycling 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.
Life for a child with cancer or other serious illness is grueling; Chai Lifeline’s flagship programs, Camp Simcha and Camp Simcha Special, offer 430 children a chance to forget about illness and just be kids again. Camp is an oasis of fun, of joy, and of peace for children experiencing dark and turbulent times. To learn more about Camp Simcha and Camp Simcha special, visit campsimcha.org.
This year’s ride is even more thrilling than past years’ rides: it’s a landmark ride, the 10th Bike4Chai! I will depart on the two-day ride of a lifetime to camp on Wednesday, August 14, 2019. I am trying to raise $12,500 in memory of my father WALLACE BOCK (z"l), and I hope you will help Bike4Chai raise over $10,000,000. All donations are 100% tax-deductible.
Please contribute by clicking on the donate button now.
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,
Simon
