Hi,
Thanks for reading this post. I am humbled that many of you have already sponsored me and that I am very close to reaching my goal. This is the last post before I bike Lake Shore Drive. By the time many of you read this, I’ll be either asleep or biking, since I am getting downtown at 5:00 am, with the ride starting at 5:30 am. Don’t worry, you can still sponsor me!
Chai Lifeline, a wonderful organization dedicated to helping very sick children and their families. Chai Lifeline provides year-round emotional, social, and financial support to more than 4,000 children and their families every year. In our area, Chai Lifeline Midwest offers access to two-dozen free programs and services that touch each member of the family, helping them to live full and happy lives despite the presence of illness.
As a Chai Cyclist, over the past 5 years I have raised almost $9000.00 for them, which blows me away. I’m aiming to raise $2800.00 this year and I am only about $1100.00 away from reaching my goal. All donations are 100% tax deductible, and if your company has a matching gift program, your gift may be doubled or tripled. Any amount that you give would be amazing, no matter how small (or how big). I always end up pushing myself on this ride and I’m aiming to ride, at least, 45 miles, all in the name of helping children and in loving memory of my father, of blessed memory, and my in-laws, of blessed memory.
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. To sponsor me, please click here. If you want, it would be great if you could share this message with your friends.
With much thanks,
Neil
