Now, more than ever, Wheels of Love relocates to Long Island

Dear Friends, 

I am so desperately sad about the current situation in Israel and the necessary cancellation of this year’s Wheels of Love ride.  I had planned for this to be an announcement about my final training rides in Jerusalem this week before heading to the Negev, but that was not meant to be. 

However, this Sunday, October 22, riders from all over the region will participate in solidarity rides to show our support for Israel and the ALYN Children’s Hospital in particular.  ALYN treats all children without regard to race or religion and especially so now, with a dramatic influx of war trauma victims.  I never thought that war trauma would take precedence over birth defects and car accidents, but here we are. 

Won’t you consider making a donation to ALYN and help provide for these innocent victims.  I’ll be on the road for 50+ miles with my dear Long Island friends and fellow ALYN riders. 

Thank you all so much for your generous support.  For those of you who have generously supported me in the past, I am especially grateful.

Until recently, Israel's ALYN Hospital has been planning to host our 23rd annual international fundraising charity bike ride.

But now that has changed. It is very clear that the 2023 Wheels of Love ride cannot and should not be held as planned. 

Israel’s injured children are relying on ALYN Hospital to help restore their hope and rebuild their lives. ALYN Hospital is relying on YOU to help make that a reality.
  
We are working closely with the Home front Command and Ministry of Health to be prepared to admit patients from other hospitals,  including those injured in this war. Despite a reduced staff, the Hospital remains dedicated to caring for our critical patients.  
 
We hope for a swift end to the fighting, and extend our condolences to the victims' families. Our thoughts are with our staff and their loved ones involved in defense efforts.
 
We recognize that we will be taking care of complex injuries  of children and adolescents including children who are injured in this war. We anticipate a challenging and lengthy journey towards recovery for both the children and their families. With the support of our friends in Israel and around the world, ALYN Hospital pledges to continue fulfilling its mission of providing the best pediatric rehabilitation possible. Together, we will be able to help these young survivors regain their strength, independence, and hope for a better future.
 
We need you now! Stand with Alyn!
Stand with Israel!
 
Help us be there for the children who need us!
