Dear Friends,

COVID-19 restrictions have, unfortunately, precluded our annual charity ride in Israel. We are, notwithstanding, training and preparing to ride for the hundreds of children treated at ALYN Hospital, albeit locally. In lieu of our five (5) day ride, this year will be undertaking a Metric Century – all to benefit ALYN and its annual WHEELS OF LOVE campaign.

This year, as our team name reflects, we ride in memory of our friend KEVIN LEIFER. Kevin was one of ALYN’s inaugural riders, a Board Member, and he remains one of its single largest fundraisers. We, and so many Alyn riders, will forever remember his grit, determination and persistence, which he always attributed to that depicted by the children he represented. We all miss Kevin and are grateful for this opportunity to honor his indomitable character through the institution he so admirably exemplified.
