Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.
As you may know both of us have had our ‘health’ challenges recently, and this years Wheels of Love ride is the ideal motivation to do our very best to try to get fit enough to join the fund-raising adventure again in November! With 4 days of Israel’s toughest off-road climbs and descents , it will no doubt challenge us both to our very limits. Though clearly nothing compared to the daily challenges for kids of Alyn hospital face every day.
Alyn is Israel's premier Pediatric and Adolescence Rehabilitation Centre and is one of the world's leading specialists in the treatment of children, regardless of religion or ethnic origin. The team do a heroic job looking after the children who live with a range of severe physical disabilities including trauma and head injuries from terror attacks and road accidents.
This will be Ashley's 4th time doing the ride, and Simon’s 2nd. Here's a video of the inspirational kids training and completing the ride from last year https://youtu.be/8j_o78jn3C8
The ride is the hospital's primary way to raise money to fund the $3m shortfall not covered by insurance, and to keep developing pioneering rehabilitation and treatment methods.
Any donation will be massively appreciated and help improve the lives of these amazingly brave kids. And rest assured 95% of your donation goes direct to the hospital, a small % is for fund-raising costs.
