I'm gearing up for the Geerz 2-day Charity Ride —one that combines endurance, community, and a powerful mission to support Israeli youth affected by trauma. The Geerz ride is a grueling two-day, 80-mile mountain biking challenge dedicated to raising critical funds for children impacted by war and hardship.

I'll be one of among the more than 100 participants, pushing our limits on Israel’s rugged trails near the Dead Sea, embodying the resilience and determination that define the youth we are riding for.

The Geerz program is not just about cycling—it’s about changing lives. As Israel’s leading therapeutic mountain biking initiative, Geerz leverages the healing power of sports and nature to help children cope with anxiety, depression, and trauma. By navigating Israel’s breathtaking yet challenging trails, young participants learn to navigate their own personal struggles, developing resilience, confidence, and emotional regulation along the way.

Since the events of October 7, Geerz has rapidly expanded its services, with 38 therapeutic mountain biking groups now running in youth villages, border communities, special education schools, and afterschool programs. The demand has also extended to returning soldiers, who are now being referred to Geerz as part of comprehensive trauma relief plans.

Thank you for showing that our sense of community extends to include uplifting those in need. Thank you for your support for my ride for Geerz. Less
