Dear Friends, This represents year 6 for me on the GIG ride! Many of you have generously sponsored me once, twice or every year in the past and both Geerz and I are so thankful for your continued support.

Dear Friends, This represents year 6 for me on the GIG ride! Many of you have generously sponsored me once, twice or every year in the past and both Geerz and I are so thankful for your continued support.

For those you you have never heard of Geerz, let me tell you about what Geerz does. Geerz uses mountain biking as a powerful tool to teach valuable lessons in leadership. It offers an adventure activity as a healthy outlet for youth, encouraging them to adopt positive behaviors and pastimes as part of their identity. Geerz has created a unique curriculum that is tailored to the demographics of each group. The curriculum harnesses and strengthens the inherent physical, mental and emotional challenges of mountain biking, while at the same time connecting the participants with spirituality and the Land of Israel. Many of those who participate are suffering from PTSD of rockets falling near their homes or other violence that they have unfortunately been exposed to. Help me to help them by providing a healthy, meaningful outlet. Together, we can heal these boys and girls and give them something positive to look forward to. I see first hand lives being changed in a healthy, fun and meaningful way. Thank you for your support! Less
