1. Starting a bike ride on Lake Shore Drive at 5:30 gives me the ability time to watch the sun continue to rise as I enjoyed cool, but great weather.
2. Being able to use my bike and exercise while raising money for Chai Lifeline is an incredible way to be involved in the mitzvah of tzedakah.
3. I was able to listen to 4 shiurim and still get through my song playlist.
4.  Had I not biked 52.5 miles, then I wouldn’t have been able to be surprised by my wife and kids after the ride was over.
5. Taking upon any challenge with a health mindset allows you to realized that it is only when you are pushed, or push yourself, that you can really grow.
6. By Biking the Drive for Chai Lifeline, I have already raised almost $2,100 of my goal amount of $2800. I still have, at least, one matching donation from someone’s company and I know that after reading this, you might also open your heart and still sponsor me within the next 48 hours.

I thank all of you that sponsored me. If you haven’t sponsored me YET, you can still do it. I’m told the website will still accept sponsors, just click here.
