My Profile

On April 8th & 9th, I will be biking in the northern mountains of Israel on a two-day 70km mountain bike ride in order to raise funds for a unique organization named Geerz which I have been volunteering at every week for the past 7 months. Geerz literally transforms the lives of hundreds of Israeli kids through a highly innovative therapeutic mountain biking program. Geerz has created a customized curriculum to develop communication, self-confidence, problem solving and team-work. Geerz operates its therapeutic mountain biking programs throughout Israel, which includes where I live in Ramat Beit Shemesh, but also surrounding cities, including the Gaza periphery, but more specifically in youth villages/orphanages. In addition to its regular programming, Geerz has opened many new groups in response to urgent wartime requests from many communities and youth villages where kids have been suffering from war related issues such as PTSD.

On April 8th & 9th, I will be biking in the northern mountains of Israel on a two-day 70km mountain bike ride in order to raise funds for a unique organization named Geerz which I have been volunteering at every week for the past 7 months. Geerz literally transforms the lives of hundreds of Israeli kids through a highly innovative therapeutic mountain biking program. Geerz has created a customized curriculum to develop communication, self-confidence, problem solving and team-work. Geerz operates its therapeutic mountain biking programs throughout Israel, which includes where I live in Ramat Beit Shemesh, but also surrounding cities, including the Gaza periphery, but more specifically in youth villages/orphanages. In addition to its regular programming, Geerz has opened many new groups in response to urgent wartime requests from many communities and youth villages where kids have been suffering from war related issues such as PTSD. Much focus has been placed on kids displaced from their homes in order to provide them with a sense of normalcy. For many of these kids, Geerz is a game changer. Geerz did not budget for these special wartime activities. They simply responded to this emergency because they knew what a difference their programs would make to these kids. As you know, these families were and are hit hard financially and Geerz has to raise funds for the cost of these programs. Their programming currently serves hundreds of kids in desperate need of biking therapy. Geerz imbues these kids with a sense of vitality, positivity and adventure and they need it now, more than ever. So please be my partner in supporting this remarkable organization by generously sponsoring my ride. My goal is to raise a minimum of $5,000. Thank you!
