Dear Family and Friends,
As you know, I have participated in the Alyn Ride in Israel over the past few years to raise monies for Alyn Hospital in Jerusalem, Israel’s premier rehabilitation facility for children with disabilities. Every year, over 3,000 children come to ALYN to receive best-in-class care. Money raised through the Alyn Ride accounts for 33% of Alyn Hospital’s shortfall in fulfilling its mission, and is critical to ensuring that ALYN can continue to do amazing work – turning disabilities into abilities! The financial toll of the global pandemic means that Alyn Hospital needs your support now more than ever. Your generosity will go a long way to help the children of ALYN who are working hard toward their rehabilitation.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, I will not be able to travel to Israel and participate in the Alyn Ride this year. Instead, I have decided to do a virtual challenge to raise monies for the Kids of Alyn.
In August, I set 2 goals/challenges for my virtual Alyn Ride, to help the Kids of Alyn. The challenges are:
1) Do an Everesting, which is “fiendishly simple, yet brutally hard. Everesting is the most difficult climbing challenge in the world.” The concept of Everesting is fiendishly simple: Pick any hill, anywhere in the world and complete repeats of it in a single activity until you climb 29,029 feet (8,848m) – the equivalent height of Mt Everest.
This challenge was completed successfully on August 23rd. This effort can be found on Strava: https://www.strava.com/activities/3957234988
2) Ride a 200 mile endurance ride in one activity by November 1st.
Although these are difficult challenges, they do not compare to the challenges that the Kids of Alyn go through daily. It is for the Kids of Alyn that I am doing these challenges, and it is for the Kids of Alyn that I am asking for your support.
Thank you, in advance, for supporting me on my virtual ride and for being as generous as you can to help the Kids of Alyn!!!
With much appreciation,
