In October, I shall participate together with my ridding group, The Vixens, in the ALYN Wheels of Love, a challenging 5-day bike ride in Israel. I am doing so to help the ALYN Children’s Hospital, a world leader in pediatric rehabilitation for children of all religious affiliations. Every year, hundreds of children who have been severely injured or were born with significant physical challenges are rehabilitated at ALYN.
Since COVID-19 came in our life, what is tough for us, is even more challenging for babies and children on respirators. Wheels of Love riders ensure that ALYN has the resources to care for these children, receiving no automatic government funding, your donations help the children’s rehabilitation needs.
My personal involvement with ALYN started in 2014, 5 years after my daughter was hospitalized there for rehabilitation. A year later, I volunteered with “The Swift and The Bold”, a fantastic group of young boys and girls whose determination to ride is a huge lesson of courage.
This upcoming ride will be different because many riders from abroad will not be able to attend the ride like each year. Therefore, in these challenging times I turn to you, dear friends, hoping that together we can help transform disabilities into abilities. All donations will only go to the children’s needs.
