This August, I will be riding 180 miles over two days as part of Bike4Chai, an incredible charity event supporting Chai Lifeline and Camp Simcha, which provides life-changing experiences for children facing serious illnesses.
 

This ride is deeply personal for me. I am doing it in memory of my uncle, Jeffrey Friedman, and our dear friend, Stephen Neuwirth. Their lives were filled with love, and I want to honor their legacy by bringing joy and relief to children and families in need.
 

Bike4Chai raises funds to give kids with life-threatening and chronic illnesses a chance to experience Camp Simcha—a place where they can forget about hospitals, treatments, and limitations, and just be kids. It also supports families facing financial burdens and the emotional toll of illness.
 

Every donation makes a difference. Whether it’s $20, $50, or any amount you’re willing to give, your generosity helps provide medical care, counseling, and most importantly, joy and hope to children who need it most.

Please consider supporting my ride by donating here.
 

Your kindness and support mean the world to me, and even more to these children and their families. Thank you for being part of this journey with me.
 

With gratitude,
Matt Friedman
