This summer, I will bike 180 miles through 3 states to Camp Simcha, an extraordinary overnight camp that gives children with cancer a vacation from sickness that restores their spirits and renews their determination to fight!

The ride won’t be easy, but neither is life for a child with cancer or other serious illness. Camp Simcha and its sister camp, Camp Simcha Special, are Chai Lifeline’s flagship programs. Every year these two camps offer 420 children a chance to forget about illness and just be kids again (to learn more about the camps, visit www.campsimcha.org).

I will be biking to camp on Wednesday and Thursday August 5th and 6th . My objective is to raise at least $3,600 by then and I hope you will help me reach this goal. 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,

Joel Sontag
