I haven't been on a bike in years and I’ve never done an organized ride – so, naturally, I signed up for Tour de Simcha! 😲

It all started when my friend Shira told me all about Camp Simcha, the amazing work they do, and the inspirational experience she had participating in this fundraising ride. Camp Simcha is a Jewish sleep away camp for kids with cancer and other serious illnesses. Now, those who know me will understand: Jewish + Kids = I’m there. 😉

The ride is July 14th and will take me through NJ, PA, & NY. I’ll be riding with a few friends from Columbus (including Shira!) and Jewish women from all over the US & Canada. For the finish line, we’ll be riding right into Camp Simcha! 🎉 To learn more about the camp, check out campsimcha.org.

Now begins the hard work - both the training 🚴‍♀️ & the fundraising 💰! Any help you can offer in contributing towards my fundraising goal of $5,000 is much appreciated. All donations are 100% tax-deductible. And if you're in Columbus, let's go for a bike ride!

Thank you for supporting me and helping the children and their families cope with the diagnosis, treatment, and aftermath of serious pediatric illness.



Wish me luck!! 🙃
