This summer, I will cycle 150 miles from the Jersey Shore to Camp Simcha, an extraordinary overnight camp that gives children with cancer a vacation from sickness that restores their spirits and renews their determination to fight illness.

With 10,000 feet of climbing, the ride won\'t be easy, but that 10,000 feet of climbing is as nothing compared to life for a child with cancer or other serious illness. Most of us can remember summer camp as a time of fun and joy, but try to imagine summer camp with chemotherapy sessions.  Camp Simcha and its sister camp, Camp Simcha Special, are the organization\'s flagship programs. Every year these two camps offer 430 children a chance to forget about illness and just be kids again. (To learn more about Camp Simcha and Camp Simcha special, visit www.campsimcha.org.) I will be biking to camp on Wednesday and Thursday Aug. 8th & 9th. My objective is to raise $10,000 by then - just $1 per foot of climbing, and I hope you will help me reach this goal. All donations are 100% tax-deductible.

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.

Best regards,

Solomon (Shlomo) Rosenzweig
