The Challenge

In August 2025, I will take on one of the most extreme endurance cycling events in the world—London-Edinburgh-London (LEL)—a grueling 1,500km ride from London to Edinburgh and back, within just 125 hours.

This means riding nearly continuously for five days, through all weather conditions, across some of the toughest terrain in the UK. It’s an immense test of physical and mental endurance, and only 60-70% of riders typically finish.

I’m dedicating this ride to Beit Halochem, an organisation that provides essential rehabilitation, support, and community for disabled veterans and victims of terror attacks. Just as these individuals push their limits in rebuilding their lives, I will push mine in completing this challenge. Your donation will directly support Cycling programs that help them rehabilitate, regain independence, and rebuild their lives.

Beit Halochem UK is a charity which is devoted to raising awareness and funds for the Beit Halochem centres in Israel which provide rehabilitative services and life long care for disabled veterans of the Israeli Defence Forces along with victims of terror and their families.

In the wake of the devastating events that transpired on October 7th 2023, the subsequent military operations have left Beit Halochem facing a critical situation. Currently, they are confronted with the pressing needs of over 11,400 newly injured veterans and victims of terror. These numbers continue to rise daily.

The 62,400+ Beit Halochem members (IDF Veterans and Victims of Terror) are given a new lease of life at Beit Halochem's four rehabilitation centres based in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa and Beer Sheva. They remain members of the organisation for the rest of their lives. The Beit Halochem centres provide a blend of exceptional rehabilitative services including physiotherapy, hydrotherapy and chiropractic treatments conducted alongside social and specialised sport options, educational programmes and a vast range of creative activities.

Each centre offers a wide choice of physical and social activities, housing an auditorium, multipurpose gymnasium, classrooms, fitness rooms, occupational and physical therapy units, trauma therapy units, a cafeteria, offices and a social wing.
