This summer I will bike through NJ, PA and NY in memory of Meir b-n Yeshayahu and for the recovery of 2 very special children, Avraham Tuvya -en Chaya Sara and Leeba Miriam Geula -as Leah. These 2 children are battling a rare form of cancer (3 in a million) that no child should have to go through - Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis, or LCH. LCH is a type of cancer that can damage tissue or cause lesions to form in one or more places in the body.

This is no ordinary cycling event; it’s an exhilarating ride 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.

The ride won't be easy; 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 430 children a chance to forget about illness and just be kids again. To learn more about Camp Simcha and Camp Simcha special, visit campsimcha.org. I will be biking to camp on Tuesday, August 18, 2020.
My objective is to raise $5,000 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,
Tamar Newman
