Dear Friends,For several years now, I have been an avid supporter of a unique organization named Geerz, which you have generously supported.

MoreDear Friends,
For several years now, I have been an avid supporter of a unique organization named Geerz, which you have generously supported.
In addition to its regular programming of which I have written to you about in the past, Geerz has opened many new groups in response to urgent wartime requests from many communities where so many kids are suffering from significant PTSD. Geerz has trained its staff to enable them to address the unique challenges Israeli kids are struggling in these extraordinarily trying times. The results have been phenomenal and there are dozens of testimonials from parents attesting to the powerful impact Geerz is having on their kids.
My favorite new initiative is the Geerz Veteran Program, providing a uniquely tailored therapeutic mountain biking program designed to help reintegrate combat soldiers returning to everyday civilian life. Over the past two years, thousands of veterans have come home carrying invisible wounds - PTSD, anxiety, loss of purpose, difficulty reintegrating into family, friends, and work life. Many avoid traditional therapy due to stigma or fear of opening up. With the guidance of Geerz staff psychologists and veterans themselves, a one-of-a-kind curriculum was developed combining weekly rides with group discussion around shared experience on the battlefield and back at home. All this, within the calming embrace of nature to enable healing and growth.
The magic of Geerz is transformative for the veterans as it is for the kids. This charity ride provides the majority of the funds necessary for these wonderful programs. Please be my partner in this important mission by sponsoring my campaign on behalf of Geerz at https://www.geerz.site/get-into-geerz/en/athlete/gavri-slasky-2204/
Thank you,
Gavri
