Bike4Chai 2015: Finish

Bike4Chai 2015 cyclists raised over $5.8 million dollars and trekked 180 miles in two days to reach the 'World's Greatest Finish Line' at Camp Simcha.

If not for Camp Simcha, it would be impossible for the children of Chai Lifeline to enjoy a summer camp experience. Camp Simcha is an amazing overnight summer camp designed to meet the medical and social needs of children and teens with cancer and other serious illnesses. They do everything their healthy peers do -- and more. Helicopter & motorcycle rides, incredible concerts and interactive shows, and days jam-packed with activity give them the sense of normalcy missing in their everyday lives. The friendships and memories of camp life help them through the pain, isolation, and loneliness of illness and give them the courage to keep fighting the devastating effects of life-threatening illness or serious chronic and genetic conditions.

Since 1987, Chai Lifeline and its affiliates' mission has been to restore the light of childhood to children whose innocence ended when life-threatening or lifelong illness was diagnosed.

Through programs that address the emotional, social, and financial needs of seriously ill children, their families, and communities, Chai Lifeline restores normalcy to family life, and better enables families to withstand the crises and challenges of serious pediatric illness.
